Comprehensive Integrative Oncology

Comprehensive Integrative Oncology provides a clinical, symptom focused, and cancer specific approach to incorporate integrative therapies safely and effectively into conventional oncology care. Written by oncology providers who are both experts in conventional care and integrative health and medicine, this reference incorporates up-to-date scientific evidence along with authors’ experiences using therapies such as botanicals, supplements, mind-body, lifestyle choices, nutrition, exercise, and other integrative medicine modalities in oncology care. This reference offers practical guidance for improving patient care while focusing on safety, prevention, and wellness for a better quality of life. In 5 parts and 61 chapters the book not only describes both the definition and philosophy of integrative oncology, and the integrative oncology modalities and tools for practice, it also provides integrative approaches to cancer prevention and oncology symptoms and gives insight into the special populations in integrative oncology. This title is an ideal text book for researchers across the field of oncology science.
