Pre and Post IV Infusion Therapy
Integrative oncology refers to the combination of conventional cancer treatments with complementary therapies that aim to enhance overall well-being, support the body’s natural healing processes, and reduce the side effects associated with cancer treatments such as chemotherapy. When applied before or after oncology treatments, integrative oncology can support the body and mind, improve resilience, and optimize outcomes.
Pre oncology treatments – focuses on preparing the body and mind for the challenges of cancer treatment. By supporting immune function, improving nutrition, reducing stress, and addressing any pre-existing symptoms, this holistic approach can help patients better tolerate treatments such as chemotherapy, reduce side effects, and ultimately improve their overall quality of life during treatment.
Post oncology treatments – focuses on supporting patients during recovery after cancer treatment. While chemotherapy is a vital tool in fighting cancer, it can take a significant toll on the body, including fatigue, weakened immune function, and emotional stress. Integrative oncology combines conventional cancer care with complementary therapies designed to promote healing, enhance quality of life, and help the body fully recover after oncological treatments.
Key Mechanicals Of Integrative Oncology
Immune Boosting Function: Before chemotherapy, which can suppress the immune system, integrative approaches can focus on strengthening the body’s natural defences.
Nutritional Support and Dietary Optimization: Proper nutrition is essential in preparing the body for chemotherapy. An integrative approach often involves personalized dietary recommendations to ensure patients are receiving the nutrients needed to support immune health, energy levels, and recovery. Nutritional support, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, may also be considered to optimize the body’s ability to tolerate chemotherapy.
Optimizing Physical Health and Strength: Maintaining physical strength before chemotherapy is critical for recovery and reducing treatment side effects.
Addressing Pre-Treatment Side Effects: Some integrative oncology treatments may be used to address pre-existing symptoms related to cancer or to prepare the body for the upcoming side effects of chemotherapy (such as nausea, fatigue, and pain). Integrative pathways can help mitigate the severity of side effects once treatments such as chemotherapy begins.
Personalized Support Plans: An important aspect of integrative oncology is its individualized approach. Before chemotherapy, oncologists and integrative medicine doctors can work together to create a tailored treatment plan that takes into account the patient’s specific cancer type, overall health status, and treatment goals. This plan can address both the physical and psychological needs of the patient.

Benefits Of Integrative Pathways Post Oncology Treatment:

Integrative therapies such as nutrition support, herbal remedies, and physical therapy can help rebuild tissue, strengthen the body, and speed up recovery. These therapies encourage the body’s natural healing processes, helping to repair damaged tissues and restore vitality.
Reduction of Fatigue and Improved Energy Levels: Post Oncology Treatments fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating side effects.

Integrative therapies can help alleviate these lingering side effects, improving the patient’s comfort and overall quality of life.

Integrative oncology offers personalized plans to ensure patients are getting the right nutrients to promote recovery, detoxify the body, and restore energy.
Improved Quality of Life: Ultimately, the primary goal in integrative oncology is to improve the overall quality of life for cancer survivors. By addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of recovery, integrative therapies can help individuals feel more balanced, energized, and empowered as they transition from active cancer treatment to post-treatment life.
