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. When applied ine the pre and post oncology cycle, integrative oncology can support the body and mind, improve resilience, and support positive outcomes.
Pre oncology treatments – prehabilitation in cancer focuses on preparing the body for 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 cancer treatment care pathways.
Immune Boosting Function: Before chemotherapy, which may suppress the immune system, prehabilitation before cancer treatment approaches can focus on strengthening the body’s natural defences.
Nutritional Support and Dietary Optimisation: Proper nutrition is essential in preparing the body for chemotherapy. An integrative approach often involves personalised 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 optimise the body’s ability to support tolerability for chemotherapy.
Optimising Physical Health and Strength: Maintaining physical strength before chemotherapy is critical for recovery and reducing treatment side effects.
Addressing Pre-Treatment Side Effects: Some prehabilitation in cancer 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). Integrative pathways may help mitigate these side effects.
Personalised Support Plans: An important aspect of integrative oncology and cancer prehabilitation is its individualised approach. Before chemotherapy, tailored integrative pathways can take 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.
