A review conducted by researchers at the University of Southampton in the UK has found that the use of complementary and alternative medicine in pediatric cancer cases has risen significantly in recent years.
Felicity L. Bishop PhD reviewed 28 studies between 1975 and 2005 and found that the most common types of alternative therapies used included herbal remedies, diets/nutrition, and faith-healing. The most common reasons for the treatments were to provide symptom relief, support conventional therapy, or to treat/cure the disease.
