Alternative medicine use in the general population has continued to dramatically increase in this decade. The research supporting the use of acupuncture treatment in other areas of medicine is compelling. In addition, herbal therapies, such as PC-SPES and St. John's Wort, may play important roles in this disease. Clinicians dealing with advanced prostate cancer need to be introduced to some of these newer treatments so they can be discussed objectively with patients.
