Integrative Oncology means using a combination of approaches to treat cancer. The Journal of the Society for Integrative Oncology defines integrative oncology as “both a science and a philosophy that focuses on the complex health of people with cancer and proposes an array of approaches to accompany the conventional therapies of surgery, chemotherapy, molecular therapeutics, and radiotherapy to facilitate health” (JSIO 2009). Omaha Integrative Care will offer therapy and counseling, yoga, massage, nutritional counseling and acupuncture specific to the needs of cancer patients and their caregivers.
