Integrated oncology

Scientifically based integration of some complementary treatments allows better management of symptoms and side effects of cancer therapies.

Performance

Cancer therapies have become more effective, but also more complex and sometimes accompanied by side effects (nausea, fatigue, pain, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, etc.), which are not always easy to control.

Scientifically based integration of some complementary treatments, such as acupuncture, phytotherapy, anthroposophic medicine, various relaxation techniques, etc., allows better control of symptoms and, consequently, a better quality of life. The integrated oncology outpatient clinic offers the following services:

  • Comprehensive assessment of disorders.
  • Development together with the patient of an effective and safe treatment plan, in close cooperation with the responsible oncologist.
  • Organization of complementary treatments by qualified physicians and therapists.
  • Evaluation of the compatibility of any complementary treatments already underway with the planned oncological therapies.


The proposed treatments are covered by LaMal basic health insurance.
