Integrative Oncology improves quality of life for patients When patients are diagnosed with Cancer, their way of life changes. Both they and their families must learn to live differently and to modify many of their habits to adapt to an ever-changing process.

Integrative oncology is a fundamental part of this change, it provides patients with the necessary tools to understand the disease in all its phases and combat possible side effects to significantly improve patients’ quality of life. Reference hospitals in cancer treatments such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and MD Anderson in Houston have implemented integrative oncology within their programmes for many years and have shown clear benefits deriving from this treatment. In its commitment to quality patient care, HC Cancer Center has incorporated Dr Julia Vozmediano into its team. Dr Vozmediano is a medical oncologist specialising in integrative medicine and the founder of Onconature. She explains what integrative oncology is and how it helps to improve oncology patients’ quality of life.
