      I did not mean to imply that CAM interventions should be favored by clinicians. I meant that some pts may favor them, despite the lack of evidence to support them.

          Funny way of saying it, indeed. @JackWestMD, you said that "CAM interventions *are* an appropriate option [...] instead of conventional anticancer therapy."

          The phrasing was perhaps not very clear.

          It will absolutely be read as saying that CAM interventions are an appropriate substitute. Especially by the people profiting from selling mumbo-jumbo to desperate patients. If there is anything positive to be said about CAM (& that’s a big If) it needs to be said differently.

          I will seek to work with @JAMAOnc to see whether it is possible to revise language to better reflect intent of nuanced conclusion that I can see is being interpreted as clearly supportive of CAM interventions but was not intended as such.

          I believe your intentions were good, but surely you have to see how quacks will latch onto that soundbite and declare it to be The Last Word? IMO,we're way overdue for real experts to stop tiptoeing around the elephant in the room and start addressing CAM for the BS it is.

          Yes this was really not well thought out as to how it would be received and manipulated by quacks
