Background.
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is high among children and youths with chronic illnesses, including cancer.
The objective of this study was to assess prevalence and patterns of CAM use among pediatric oncology outpatients in two academic clinics in Canada.
Procedure.
A survey was developed to ask patients (or their parents/guardians) presenting to oncology clinics at the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in Ottawa about current or previous use of CAM products and practices.
Results.
Of the 137 families approached, 129 completed the survey.
Overall CAM use was 60.5% and was not significantly different between the two hospitals.
The most commonly reported reason for not using CAM was lack of knowledge about it.
The most common CAM products ever used were multivitamins (86.5%), vitamin C (43.2%), cold remedies (28.4%), teething remedies (27.5%), and calcium (23.0%).
The most common CAM practices ever used were faith healing (51.0%), massage (46.8%), chiropractic (27.7%), and relaxation (25.5%).
Many patients (40.8%) used CAM products at the same time as prescription drugs.
Conclusion.
CAM use was high among patients at two academic pediatric oncology clinics.
Although most respondents felt that their CAM use was helpful, many were not discussing it with their physicians.
