Perspectives of Integrative Oncology

Abstract

During cancer diagnosis, most patients only approach their surgeon who cut out tumors and oncologists who use potent chemotherapies and radiation to root out disease. But in this era when cancer cases are increasing, many experts are suggesting a more holistic, long-term approach that provides closer attention to the overall health of patients suffering from cancer [1]. That is why many practitioners are in favor of rapidly expanding the field of integrative oncology. Integrative Oncology fuses the best of conventional and alternative treatments [2].
