Research shows that half of the cancer patients in Norway use different forms of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) during the course of disease. Many of these patients want to discuss the use of CAM with their GP or an oncologist/cancer nurse. Patients highly value health personnel’s assessment and knowledge of CAM, and appreciate their opinions. A discussion about CAM, which the provider should initiate, would strengthen the relationship between the patient and the provider.
