Development of a survey and a web tool to bridge the communication gap between different professionals of health care providers and patients in cancer care

Tine Lillegård Bergli | 05. Dec 2018

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.
