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 di erently 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 e ects to signi cantly 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 bene ts 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.

What is integrative oncology?

Integrative oncology is the application of scienti cally based complementary therapies which have proven to be safe and e ective.

ese therapies are used in combination with conventional treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy…) to enhance their e ect whilst simultaneously reducing any unwanted side e ects resulting from either the conventional treatment or from the disease itself.

Whom is it intended for?

What are complementary therapies?

e three main pillars of complementary therapy which have shown to be most e ective are nutrition, physical exercise and psycho-emotional support.

Using these three pillars we teach self-care tools, individual to each patient and their circumstances, so that any patient can adapt their lifestyle. Psycho-emotional support also allows patients to anticipate changes by understanding the disease and confront fears.

It is aimed at all cancer patients at any time during their treatment and afterwards. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits helps to reduce the risks associated with some types of cancer and can therefore reduce the likelihood of the disease developing again.

Patients work on these therapies together with their family members, enabling each family to learn the best way to support the patient.

At HC Cancer Centre we treat people, not tumors. If you want to know more about how these therapies can help you, do not hesitate to contact us, we will be happy to answer your queries.
