Résumé

This article begins by tracing the history of supportive oncology care, from its definition to its regulation and organization in France. It then recalls the development of non-conventional practices in oncology, initially identified under the name of alternative and complementary medicine, which has evolved towards a more inclusive notion of integrative oncology. Today, oncology support care provides the link between specific cancer treatments and these unconventional practices. However, it would appear that certain conditions, that we will outline here, are essential if this alliance is to be constructive and beneficial for the patient.
