dc.description.abstractThe paper reviews challenges and developments in the integration of complementary therapies in cancer care. These issues are examined by reflecting on papers published in CTNM in the last 10 years by champions of CAM in cancer care. Given the aim of the journal to encourage an inclusive readership, multidisciplinary and user perspectives are included. The paper argues for better information, improved service provision and CAM choices in public healthcare, leadership support, funded research and audit, and user and non-users views.
