Integrative Oncology - a holistic and patient-centred approach to cancer care

ntegrative Oncology utilizes practices from different medical traditions alongside conventional cancer treatments, aiming to optimize health, quality of life, and clinical outcomes, in all stages of the disease. Integrating these traditions into mainstream care ensures safety, provides a coherent treatment approach, and responds to frequent requests of patients. Multiple studies have demonstrated the benefit and potential of integrative cancer care in reducing patient suffering and improving long-term prospects.

Please note this event will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels – Room ASP 1E3, in-person. Places are limited; please register before 30 May in the evening via the link here.
