description The purpose of this short review is to provide a commonly accepted definition of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), to illustrate the widespread use of CAM by people affected by cancer around the world, and to highlight the research contributions of the Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CCAM) research team and its colleagues. Based on research conducted by CCAM and several European colleagues, a collection of articles was compiled, reviewed, and edited. CAM modalities play a role in supportive care and cancer. Because of the high CAM utilization, it is critical to help cancer patients make safe, informed, evidence-based decisions for their care. In addition, advances in research methodology, outcomes, and measurement in CAM studies are suggested to better account for individual and collective experiences. This special issue provides clinicians with a summary of information about CAM and perspectives for better responding to cancer patient's needs.
