Welcome to IOU Digital Library

Drawing on comparative fieldwork in the UK, Pakistan, and Australia, this book provides the first systematic assessment of how complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is used by individuals with cancer and how such practices are integrated at the grassroots level. The authors examine patient support‑group dynamics, decision‑making processes, and the role of CAM in contexts where mainstream health systems differ significantly — offering valuable insight for researchers, healthcare providers, and policymakers concerned with cancer care and health‑care pluralism.
