Study Abstracts: Pine Street 10 Year Survival Studies
For patients with lung or colon cancer, does adding complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapy to standard treatment extend survival? We analyzed more than 10 years of follow-up data from the Pine Street Clinic for patients who used CAM therapy and compared their outcomes to a control group of matched controls from the California Cancer Registry. In two papers published this autumn in Integrative Cancer Therapies, one of the most important peer-reviewed journals in this field, we found that patients who took an integrative approach had significantly improved survival when compared to those patients who only had standard treatment.
