Integrative Oncology explores 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. This guide 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.

'...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
