Section A. Personal and Professional Background

Many patients seek out and spend money on supplementary care, including talk therapy, massage, yoga and acupuncture to help them cope with cancer without clear evidence to support their various health claims.

To improve the evidence-base and quality of care provided to patients, we want to learn more about the potential risks and/or utility of yoga from a clinician’s point of view.

Thank you for your important contribution.

All personal information and your responses will remain entirely confidential.
