In this article several complementary therapies were identified as particularly relevant to palliative cancer care. Exemplary studies were discussed. Although it was found that some promising results for treatment existed, the article concluded that there is a great deal of potential for complementary medicine in palliative care. The article also discussed the need for more rigorous research into the value of such treatments in palliative and supportive cancer care.
