integrative oncology

Integrative oncology is a holistic approach to cancer care that combines conventional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation with evidence-based complementary therapies such as acupuncture, nutrition, mindfulness, and massage. Its goal is to support the body's overall well-being, reduce treatment side effects, and improve quality of life. This approach personalizes care to address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, fostering a more comprehensive and supportive path through cancer diagnosis and treatment. Integrative oncology emphasizes collaboration among healthcare providers to ensure safe, effective, and patient-centered care.
