Thank you for your submission

At The Center for Advanced Medicine, we are ushering in what we believe should be the new standard of care for cancer treatment — integrative oncology, combining the best of modern medicine with effective natural therapies, in a way that is personalized for each patient.

Integrative oncology has been defined by the Best Answer for Cancer Foundation as “A systemic, patient-centered, healing-oriented, whole-person, and functional approach to the individualistic causes and treatment of cancer using all appropriate therapies.”

We do not believe in abandoning conventional medicine. We embrace the appropriate use of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. However, we also recognize the tremendous potential in science-based natural and alternative therapies. This is the essence of integrative oncology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does your integrative oncology program entail?
The integrative oncology program at The Center for Advanced Medicine may combine conventional cancer treatments—such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, or hormonal therapy when appropriate—with supportive services. These may include nutritional counseling, mind-body support, lymphatic therapy, and selected integrative therapies provided under medical supervision. Care plans are individualized.
Treatment planning typically begins with a clinical review of medical history, diagnostic imaging, pathology reports, and laboratory results. During consultation, clinicians discuss the patient’s condition, treatment history, and goals of care. Based on this information, the care team develops a personalized plan and reviews progress regularly during follow-up visits.
Depending on the diagnosis and treatment plan, conventional oncology treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or hormonal therapy. When appropriate, supportive integrative services may be coordinated alongside these treatments. The care team evaluates potential interactions and monitors patient health during treatment.
Costs vary depending on the treatments and services included in an individual care plan. Some conventional oncology services may be covered by insurance, while certain integrative therapies may involve out-of-pocket expenses. The clinic typically provides cost information during consultation so patients can review available options.
Patient progress is generally evaluated using standard oncology assessments such as imaging studies, laboratory tests, and clinical examinations. The care team may also review symptoms, treatment tolerance, and overall well-being during follow-up visits to help guide ongoing care decisions.
