What is Integrative Oncology? A Complete Guide to Cancer Care

Cancer is a life-changing condition, and understanding how to care for it is crucial. Oncology is the branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing cancer.

At Dalton Clinic, patients get more than standard care; they see our oncologist and team, who can provide integrative therapies for immune, metabolic, and nutritional support, and repurposed drug therapy. These may be used in conjunction with conventional oncology to address side effects and enhance recovery. This approach treats both the disease and the person.

Understanding Oncology

Oncology isn’t just about treating tumors. It’s about understanding the type of cancer, how it grows, the genetics, and the best ways to manage it. Our oncologist and experts at Dalton Clinic make sure every patient gets personalized care that fits their unique needs.

Some patients want our oncologist to use integrative therapies that can be used concurrently with conventional oncology therapies. Other patients use integrative therapies when conventional oncology therapies are no longer a viable option.

Oncology care includes:

  • Medical oncology: Treats cancer with chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and immunotherapy.
  • Surgical oncology: Removes tumors or affected tissues to prevent cancer spread.
  • Radiation oncology: Uses precise radiation to destroy cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue.
  • Pediatric oncology: Special care for children with cancer.
  • Hematologic oncology: Focuses on blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.

With this full range of care, Dalton Clinic can work in conjunction with your conventional oncology team to provide integrative therapies that may address side effects, enhance recovery, and extend quality of life.
