Determinants of use of oral complementary-alternative medicine among women with early breast cancer:  a focus on cancer-related fatigue
ConclusionOne-in-four patients reported use of OCAM. More severe CRF was consistently associated with its use. Moreover, older, better educated, wealthier, more anxious women, and those receiving chemotherapy seemed more prone to use OCAM. Characterizing profiles of BC patients more frequently resorting to OCAM may help deliver targeted information about its benefits and potential risks.
