Abstract
Background: The use of herbal products, one component of the growing field of integrative cancer care, is a common yet controversial practice.
Objectives: This article distinguishes nursing issues specific to patient safety when herbal products are used during cancer treatment and identifies available evidence-based resources to enhance patient and professional comprehension.
Methods: PubMed®, CINAHL®, and Google Scholar™ databases were searched for literature published between 2018 and 2024 specific to the clinical sequelae of the use of herbal products and their interactions with antineoplastic drugs, as well as patient and healthcare providers' perceptions of efficacy and safety.
Findings: Patients have misconceptions about the use of herbal products and are generally unaware of these products' potential contraindications when taken in conjunction with antineoplastics. Providers seldom inquire about patients' use of these products and may lack knowledge of their potential interactions with prescription medicines.
