Figure 1.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapy use before, during, and after active cancer treatment (N = 603). Each graph depicts total proportion of participants that used at least one therapy for that category of CAM therapy (diamond lines). Proportions for individual CAM therapies are represented in the lower lines. For example, during cancer treatment, about 59% of our population reported taking a dietary supplement (Figure 1b). Almost all participants who reported taking a supplement took a vitamin or mineral supplement (square line), and about 44% (0.26/0.59) reported taking an herbal or other type of supplement (triangle line).
