Integrative Oncology
Sutter Center for Integrative Health
Integrative oncology is a new and growing field dedicated to combining the best of traditional cancer treatment with evidence-based alternative and complementary therapies, including nutritional approaches that suppress inflammation and tumor growth, botanical (herbal) medicine, and mind-body-spirit interventions including meditation. It may also incorporate other systems of healing, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and Aryuvedic Medicine, especially while patients are going through chemotherapy and radiation. Integrative oncology seeks to optimize the treatment of cancer by creating a foundation of wellness in the person being treated, such that all interventions are able to work together holistically to enhance the best possible outcome.
