Dr Ashwin Mehtha speaks to ecancer about cannabis in cancer care and survivorship at the ASCO Direct Highlights Miami Symposium 2021.

Dr Mehtha explains his experience regarding non-pharmacologic methods of improving quality of life both during treatment and in survivorship in cancer care, making a distinction between alternative treatments and evidence-based medicine.
