Cancer patients face a daunting world of confusing information about
treatment options. They may have heard of using integrative medicine to
complement traditional care and alleviate both short- and long-term side
effects of cancer treatments, but where do they locate accurate
information on acupuncture, massage, yoga, and nutritional therapies?
Survivorship: Living Well During and After Cancer provides up-to-date
evidence-based information on available therapies from Dr. Barrie
Cassileth, a leader in integrative cancer treatment and founder of the
Integrative Medicine Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Dr. Cassileth will help patients begin to separate the facts from the
hype when considering complementary medicine. A full listing of
"anti-quackery" online resources is included.
