Use of non-conventional medicine two years after cancer diagnosis in France: evidence from the VICAN survey
ConclusionThis is the first study on NCM use 2  years after cancer diagnosis in France. In nearly half of the NCM users, cancer diagnosis was one of the main factors which incited patients to use NCM. Apart from the NCM users’ socioeconomic profile, the present results show that impaired health was a decisive factor: opting for unconventional approaches was therefore a pragmatic response to needs which conventional medicine fails to meet during the course of the disease.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsBetter information of patients and caregivers is needed to allow access to these therapies to a larger population of survivors.

Complementary and alternative medicines occupational closure in Portuguese healthcare: Contradictions and challenges
This article analyses strategies of closure recently enacted by complementary and alternative medicine practitioners in order to achieve occupational control over work domains in healthcare, taking Portugal as an example.
