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.

Providers seldom inquire about patients' use of these products and may lack knowledge of their potential interactions with prescription medicines.
