U.S. cancer survivors commonly use vitamins/minerals and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). We compare use of vitamins/minerals and CAM by adult cancer survivors and cancer-free adults, and estimate annual out-of-pocket expenses. Data on self-reported vitamin/mineral and CAM use in the past 12 months from the cross-sectional 2012 U.S. National Health Interview Survey were used to estimate prevalence of use and out-of-pocket expenditures. The cohort included adults with (n=2,977) and without (n=30,551) a self-reported cancer diagnosis. Approximately 79% of cancer survivors and 68% of cancer-free adults reported using ≥1 vitamins/minerals and/or CAM modality in the past year. Compared to cancer-free adults, cancer survivors were more likely to report use of vitamin/minerals (75% vs. 61%, P<0.001), herbal/non-vitamin supplements (24% vs. 19%, P<0.001), manipulative and body-based therapies (19% vs. 17%, P=0.03), and alternative medical systems (5% vs. 4%, P=0.04). Adult cancer survivors and cancer-free adults spent an annual estimated $6.7 billion and $52 billion out-of-pocket, respectively, on vitamins/minerals and CAM. Survivors spent 60% of the total on vitamins/minerals ($4 billion), 18% ($1.2 billion) on herbal/non-vitamin supplements, and 7% ($0.5 billion) on massage. Compared with cancer-free adults, a higher proportion of cancer survivors report vitamin/mineral and CAM use. Cancer survivors, who accounted for 6.9% of the total population, accrued more than 11.4% of the annual out-of-pocket costs on vitamins/minerals and CAM spent by U.S. adults. Given the high use of vitamins/minerals and CAM in cancer survivors, studies are needed to analyze health outcomes and the cost:benefit ratio of such use.
