AB  - A  44-year-old  man  of  Irish-Chinese  descent  with  a  diagnosis  of  metastatic  epidermal  growth  factor  receptor  (EGFR)-positive  adenocarcinoma  of  the  lung  was  admitted  to  the  acute  oncology  ward  with  severe  vomiting  during  his  initial  cycle  of  first  line  palliative  treatment  with  the  tyrosine  kinase  inhibitor  (TKI)  gefitinib.  It  transpired  that  he  had  been  taking  traditional  Chinese  medicine  alongside  his  treatment.Following  discussion  with  the  oncology  pharmacist  he  was  given  advice  about  potential  interactions  between  traditional  Chinese  medicine  and  anticancer  therapy.  The  medications  were  adapted  and  the  patient  continued  his  treatment  without  further  incident.How  does  improving  cultural  competence  in  cancer  services  enhance  the  patient  experience  and  care  received?What  communication  issues  may  arise  during  a  consultation  with  a  patient  from  a  black  and  minority  ethnic  group?What  impact  can  complementary  and  alternative  medicine  (CAM)  have  on  oncological  treatment?What  role  could  the  multidisciplinary  team  (MDT)  play  in  his  cancer  care?
