The four CAM modalities commonly used by cancer patients are:

The idea being tested is which therapies patients commonly turn to as complementary approaches in cancer care. Massage therapy and acupuncture are well-known, widely used CAM modalities that help with symptoms like pain, fatigue, and nausea. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is another CAM option some patients pursue for wound healing and tissue repair. Beyond these three, many patients also use certain CAM supplements, such as mistletoe extract or shark cartilage. Both sets include the same three core CAM modalities plus one CAM supplement, so each describes four CAM modalities that are actually seen in practice. That’s why choosing both options reflects the reality that there isn’t just one fixed list—different CAM supplements can be used alongside the core therapies.
