Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy and allied health professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists, practice. Alternative medicine means treatments that you use instead of standard ones. Complementary medicine means nonstandard treatments that you use along with standard ones.

The M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Complementary/Integrative Medicine Education Resources (CIMER) Web site does not make recommendations of specific complementary/integrative treatments. Rather, this Web site was created to assist patients and health care professionals in deciding what types of complementary medicine might be integrated into a patient's conventional therapy.
Our intent is to provide evidence-based reviews of complementary therapies, some of which may be beneficial for some patients. These reviews include research studies that have been published in the medical literature. Some, but not all, of these studies have had conclusive results. For this reason, these therapies are not recommended for use without consulting your physician.
