Integrative Cancer Therapy
Advances in medicine have allowed for survivorship rates of many types of cancer to dramatically increase. However, the treatment of cancer has many side effects. Conventional cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy can be very effective at treating the tumor, but they often leave patients feeling exhausted and depleted. Some recent meta-analysis show that depression effects most cancer patients. The fight with cancer is a daunting challenge for the patient, their families, and the doctors. The good news is that there are several ways to eliminate or reduce these debilitating side effects of cancer chemotherapy.
Integrative cancer therapy is one such solution. Integrative medicine, also known as complementary medicine, refers to the use of both Western and alternative therapies for the treatment of cancer and the management of chemotherapy-induced side effects. Alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, massage, and relaxation techniques, can help boost energy levels and promote healing.
When used together, integrative cancer therapy can provide a comprehensive and individualized approach to treatment. Dr. Catherine Oseni’s person-to-person tailored integrative cancer therapy treatments optimizes your treatment of cancer in a way that is most suitable for you.
How does Integrative Cancer Therapy Work?
Integrative cancer therapy strives for complete body and mind care. In simplest terms, it targets the cancer while also treating the harmful side effects of cancer therapy. These difficulties arise due to the treatment itself, hospitalization, and the distance from your loved ones. Our specifically tailored integrative cancer therapy includes:
- Reducing the adverse effects of cancer therapy like nausea and fatigue
- Improving physical health e.g., reducing muscle-wasting and maintaining strength
- Reducing the taxing effects on mental health, like targeting depression, anxiety, and insomnia
- Improving the recovery rate from your cancer
