Integrative Oncology is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to cancer care that addresses all individuals involved in the process, and can include the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies alongside conventional modalities such as chemotherapy, surgery and radiation therapy. The number of integrative care programs is increasing worldwide and this book forms a foundation text for all who want to learn more about this growing field. Bringing together some of the most progressive and important thinking in the area, key features of the book include: - insightful descriptions of models of integrative care, and of the perspectives and practices of alternative systems of healing - discussions of the transformational experience that the cancer care process may bring for physicians and patients - clear summaries of research, business, clinical and legal considerations - reviews of the contributions of CAM therapies to preventive, supportive, antineoplastic, palliative and end-of-life care - comprehensive references regarding the research evidence-base. "Integrative Oncology: Principles & Practice" provides a thoughtful and generous perspective on integrative care, an outstanding overview of the exciting clinical opportunities these techniques can offer, and a guide to the new territories that all oncologists and CAM practitioners need to explore and understand.

Industry Reviews

'...interesting and informative.' - European Journal of Cancer 'There are no other texts devoted exclusively to integrative oncology and this would be an important reference for those interested in this field.' - Doody's Book Review Service "This book is a timely and welcome addition to the oncology literature, the first to address the state of the art of IO from the physician's point of view. [...] this book presents a comprehensive review of the background and practice of IO, and emphasizes the multidisciplinary approach to the cancer patient [...] I recommend this book highly to physicians and nurses who participate in the care of cancer patients." - Dr Gil Bar-Sela, International Journal of Radiation Oncology: Biology, Physics, Feb 2007 "The emerging field of intergrative oncology now has a definitive textbook, thanks to the Herculean effort of Matthew P. Mumber. [...] Mumber and his colleagues have created a truly comprehensive educational resource that will long be of value to the full array of practitioners caring for the body, mind and spirits of patients with malignant disease." Dr Donald I. Abrams, ONCOLOGY, July 06
