Summary

This study surveyed 109 men with prostate cancer and women with breast cancer who were starting radiation therapy. Researchers asked about their use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM), such as nutritional supplements, at three different times to see if their habits changed. The goal was to understand what CAM therapies patients use and how that relates to their quality of life and treatment side effects.
