From the website of the Canadian Cancer Society (2023):
Complementary therapies can work alongside standard cancer treatment to help you feel better. There are many types of therapies, so it’s important to understand the differences between them and research which therapy and practitioner are right for you. It’s also important to talk to your healthcare team about any complementary therapy you are considering.
