13A. Integrative Cancer Care: The Life Over Cancer Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrative cancer treatment fully blends conventional cancer treatment with integrative therapies such as diet, supplements, exercise and biobehavioral approaches. The Life Over Cancer model comprises three spheres of intervention: improving lifestyle, improving biochemical environment (terrain), and improving tolerance of conventional treatment. These levels are applied within the context of a life-affirming approach to cancer patients and treatment. Clinical staff involved include MDs, psychosocial, physical therapy, and dietetic professionals, all located in a single private clinic, the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Treatment.
