Complementary and Alternative Medicine Research Initiatives in the Children’s Oncology Group and the Role of the Pediatric Oncology Nurse

Morgan-Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian, hawksri{at}nyp.org

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has emerged as a new area of investigation in cancer research and treatment. CAM modalities are widely used, but little is known about their efficacy. The Children’s Oncology Group has made a major commitment to CAM research in childhood and adolescent cancer, beginning with studies of CAM in the area of supportive care. Pediatric oncology nurses, as implementing clinicians and collaborating researchers, are critical to the success of these studies.

Key Words: complementary and alternative medicine • CAM research • pediatric oncology nurses
