Overview: Skin Cancer - Basal and Squamous Cell
Complementary and Alternative Therapies

You may hear about different kinds of treatment from your family and friends. You can find people who will offer all sorts of things, such as vitamins, herbs, stress reduction, acupuncture, and more. There is a great deal of interest today in complementary and alternative treatments for cancer. Before changing your treatment or adding any of these methods, be sure to talk to your doctor or nurse. Some methods can be safely used along with standard medical treatment. Others, however, can interfere with standard treatment or cause serious side effects. That is why it's important to talk openly with your doctor. More information about complementary and alternative methods of cancer treatment is available through our toll-free number or on our Web site.
