French study to probe alternative medicine use in blood cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07541326
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how people with blood cancers (like leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma) in France use complementary and alternative medicines (CAM), such as acupuncture or herbal remedies. Researchers will survey 85 patients and interview some to understand why they use these therapies and how it affects their well-being. The goal is to help doctors better support patients and ensure safe use alongside standard treatments.
