Methodology

CAM Cancer follows a rigorous and transparent methodology to ensure that summaries are unbiased, consistent, and of high quality. All summaries are based on systematic literature searches followed by a critical appraisal of the available evidence and peer review.

CAM Cancer’s writing, review, and editorial processes follow established procedures overseen by the CAM Cancer Editorial Team and Advisory Committee, ensuring that every summary adheres to our methodological standards. Summaries are developed using pre-defined guidelines and templates.  They also include a “Document history” section providing details of the latest and previous updates.
