Patients with lung cancer are increasingly seeking complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to improve their physiological and psychological well-being.
This study aimed to assess CAM use among lung cancer patients in Lebanon.
Using a cross-sectional design, 150 lung cancer patients attending the Basile Cancer Institute at the American University of Beirut Medical Center were interviewed.
Participants completed a questionnaire addressing sociodemographic characteristics, lung cancer condition, and use of CAM.
The main outcome of interest was “use of any CAM therapy since diagnosis.” Prevalence of CAM use was 41%.
The most commonly used CAM modality among study participants was “dietary supplements/special foods.” Results of the multiple logistic regression analyses showed that CAM use was positively associated with Lebanese nationality and paying for treatment out of pocket and was negatively associated with unemployment and having other chronic diseases.
About 10% of patients used CAM on an alternative base, 58% did not disclose CAM use to their physician, and only 2% cited health professionals as influencing their choice of CAM.
This study revealed a prevalent CAM use among lung cancer patients in Lebanon, with a marginal role for physicians in guiding this use.
Promoting an open-communication and a patient-centered approach regarding CAM use is warranted.
