We believe the report was balanced. Interviews with Robert Buckman, an oncologist, Mike McBurney, a research scientist with the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, and Robert Phillips of the National Cancer Institute of Canada provide testimony that counters the claims made by O'Neill. Some of our patients with cancer do visit this and similar clinics. Knowing more about what these clinics are doing - and think they are doing - should help physicians manage the clinical care of their patients with cancer.
