Abstrakt: Cancer still continues to offer a formidable challenge to conventional medicine, despite significant advances in the fields of basic and clinical oncology. The strengths and weaknesses of the current diagnosis and management of cancer are often not understood well by many patients; therefore, their quest for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches for cancer care continues globally, as well as on the Indian subcontinent.
