Defining Integrative Oncology


Dr. med. Jana Pahole

Integrative Oncology offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to cancer patient care. It requires fine-tuning of available and scietifically approved methods for each  individual based on their preferences and abilities. Orchestrating mainstream treatments and complementary methods can sometimes be challenging, considering obstacles in implementing them into standard oncology care, not only in terms of cost  but also in terms of knowledge. Palliative care is also considered an important part of the disease trajectory when curing transitions into healing.
