Alternative Bone Cancer Treatment

Recommendations

Patients should discuss the potential benefits and harmful effects of alternative treatment for bone cancer with their doctor prior to trying them. Questions that patients may want to ask their healthcare provider include:
 
  • What benefits can I expect from this approach?
  • What are its risks?
  • Do the expected benefits outweigh the risks?
  • What side effects should I watch for?
  • Will this alternative treatment change the way my bone cancer treatment works?
  • Could this alternative treatment be harmful?
  • Is this approach under study in a bone cancer clinical trial? If so, who sponsors the trial?
  • Will my health insurance pay for this approach?
