    Your Cancer is Unique | Your Treatment Should be, Too

    Conventional Medicine continues to struggle to keep up with the significant increase in cancer incidences. Survival rates have only improved slightly. We believe that this is in large part due to the failure of medicine to treat the person as a whole and unique individual. One size does not fit all in addressing a cancer diagnosis. Your treatment should be tailored to your health, genetics, and medical history. These treatments can, and should be, highly customized to support you as patient, minimize discomfort or suffering and to significantly improve long term outcomes. You are unique and we recognize that. We invite you to experience a new level of medicine.

    TCFAM is Here for You

    The Center for Advanced Medicine is built on the cornerstone of Human Connection. We believe that some of the strongest medicine available is the innate healing and treatment benefits of genuine support and empathy. We recognize the crucial role that trust, confidence, and comfort have in addressing and managing serious diseases like cancer. We are here for you. And that support comes in a variety of forms. Integrative Oncology dramatically expands the tools we can incorporate to support you Physically, Spiritually and Emotionally. Cancer can be challenging. You shouldn’t have to feel alone. We value the opportunity to connect, empower, and support each Patient.

    Dose Matters

    Low Dose Chemotherapy continues to be a force for treatment evolution in Oncology. Dose defines the difference between medicine and poison, help or harm. Read More

    Mind-Body Medicine

    Modern studies continue to illuminate the complex and powerful role that the mind plays in immunomodulation and inflammation regulation. Read More

    Chemotherapy
    Scientists have been questioning the “more is better” approach to chemotherapy for quite some time. The way we use chemo differs dramatically from conventional oncology. There are several distinct advantages to this approach of giving smaller doses more often. Learn More
    Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT)
    Insulin potentiation therapy, or IPT, affects the metabolism of cancer cells, making them more sensitive to chemotherapy agents (thus the reason for using significantly less chemotherapy). While we do not think it is appropriate for everyone, it can be an option for patients who have either failed full-dose chemotherapy previously, are not candidates for full-dose chemotherapy or who prefer to try a gentler and safer approach. Learn More
    Lymphatic Therapy

    The lymphatic system plays a key role in the immune system’s ability to do its job, while also helping the body’s detoxification efforts. Lymphatic drainage therapy aims to address lymphatic congestion so that the lymphatic system can work optimally. Learn More

    Mind-Body Therapy

    We know there is a real connection between our thoughts and emotions and our immune system. But what about cancer? Harnessing the power of the mind has significant therapeutic implications when fighting cancer. It turns out that our mental and emotional state can impact cancer treatment. Learn More

    Mistletoe
    Viscum (the genus that mistletoe belongs to) use for cancer is mentioned in the literate starting in the early 1900s. Dr. Ita Wegman around 1920 first developed its use as an injectable agent for cancer. Research has subsequently shown that Viscum has several notable effects. Learn More
    Nutrition
    There are now many scientific studies that show nutrition does make a difference in cancer treatment and prevention. By practicing integrative oncology, we make room for the importance of nutrition in any cancer treatment plan. Learn More
    Repurposed Medications

    Did you know that there are medications other than chemotherapy which have shown promise as anticancer agents? Such medications were approved for a non-cancer indication, but found in subsequent research to target cancer cells in a unique way. In an effort to target cancer as thoroughly as possible, we willingly utilize some of these medications in our treatment protocols. Because they are not FDA approved to treat cancer, we are using them in repurposed fashion. Repurposing medications entails using them in “off-label” fashion for a use which is separate from its FDA approved indication. Learn More

    Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
    Cancer cells have been shown to have an abnormal resonance that differs from normal, healthy cells. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is a simple, painless, and non-invasive way to address abnormal resonance in cancer cells. In addition, PEMF has been shown to assist in making cell membranes more permeable. Learn More
    Sono-Photodynamic Therapy

    Sono-photodynamic therapy, or SPDT, combines sound (sono) and light (photo) to target cancer cells. A sensitizing agent is infused, which collects inside cancer cells and make them susceptible to specific frequencies of sound and wavelengths of light. These non-toxic treatments harm cancer cells by creating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Learn More

    How do I fund my treatment?

    Most insurance companies have limited out of network coverage or provisions for integrative cancer treatments, however, there are some medical share plans that will cover integrative oncology as well as a few other ways we can help you raise money for your treatments. This article will show you the top ways you can fund your own cancer treatments on your own terms
