Scientists at London's Homerton Hospital warn remedies such as garlic, cod liver oil and St John's Wort pose a risk of side effects.
However, a survey of more than 300 cancer patients found more than half took herbal remedies or food supplements.
The research is published in the British Journal of Cancer.
