Comprehensive Integrative Oncology is a vital resource for clinicians who seek to blend integrative therapies with conventional oncology care to enhance patient outcomes. This book, authored by experts in both conventional and integrative medicine, emphasizes a holistic approach to cancer treatment. It provides practical guidance on incorporating scientifically-backed therapies like botanicals, supplements, mind-body practices, lifestyle changes, nutrition, and exercise into standard cancer care, all while prioritizing patient safety, prevention, and overall wellness. The book delves into the philosophy of integrative oncology, offers tools for practical application, and presents integrative strategies for cancer prevention and symptom management.
Additionally, it explores the needs of special populations within oncology. It serves as an indispensable textbook for oncology researchers and practitioners who aim to provide holistic and patient-centered care.
Key Features
- Provides an easy way to look up evidence and treatment information for a symptom independent of cancer type or cancer treatment arch
- Covers unique and important oncology populations including pediatrics, AYA, and metastatic disease
- Includes practical exercises for communicating with oncology patients about integrative therapies
- Presents chapters on emerging “hot” topics such as medical cannabis
