What is Integrative Cancer Care?
Integrative Cancer Care looks at treating cancer in many ways, not just physically. It includes different therapies to help patients feel better overall while they're getting standard cancer treatments like chemotherapy or surgery. The goal is to help the body heal better, ease side effects, make life better, and keep the patient healthy in the long term.
