Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) uses techniques outside of traditional medical care.

Along with the many cancer treatment approaches ranging from surgery and radiation to chemotherapy or immunotherapy, millions of people seek additional options as CAM. The term complementary medicine refers to interventions that are not part of conventional medical care but are delivered alongside, as a complement to them. Alternative medicine replaces standard anticancer treatments with other approaches that may include supplements, diets developed to combat cancer, lifestyle changes, and sometimes other interventions.

癌症护理中的补充和替代医学

补充和替代医学（CAM）使用传统医学护理之外的技术。

除了从外科手术，放射线治疗到化学疗法或免疫疗法的许多癌症治疗方法外，数百万人还寻求其他选择作为CAM。术语补充医学是指不属于常规医疗服务的一部分，但一起交付，以补充他们的干预措施。替代医学用其他方法替代标准的抗癌治疗方法，这些方法可能包括补充剂，为抗癌而开发的饮食，生活方式的改变，有时还包括其他干预措施。
