How Can Patients Safely Integrate Alternative Treatments?
Integrating alternative treatments safely involves open communication with healthcare providers. Patients should inform their oncologists about any alternative therapies they are considering. This collaboration ensures that treatments do not conflict with conventional care plans. Patients are encouraged to seek evidence-based practices and work with practitioners who have reputable credentials in complementary medicine. Resources like the National Cancer Institute and reputable cancer centers can offer guidance on safe and effective complementary therapies.
