Running title: Non-Pharmacological Interventions in Patient with Breast Cancer Abstract: Background: Patients and healthcare professionals are becoming increasingly interested in non-pharmacological interventions (NPI), which can also be called complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). In just a few years, this supportive care has gone from solutions aimed at improving the quality of life to solutions intended to reduce symptoms, supplement oncological treatments and prevent recurrences. Social networks are a major vector for disseminating these practices that are not always disclosed to doctors by patients. An exploration of the content of exchanges on social networks by patients suffering from breast cancer can help to better identify the extent and diversity of these practices. Objective: This study explores the interest of breast cancer patients in NPI-CAM from posts published in health forums and French-language [social media] groups. Methods: The retrospective study is based on a French database of 2 forums and 4 Facebook groups between June 3, 2006 and November 17, 2015.
