Abstract

Integrative Oncology incorporates conventional and western cancer treatment approaches with the best of ancient and traditional medicine including nutrition, supplements, Qigong, herbal medicine, mind-body practices, and more. This article offers a guiding conceptual paradigm from an integrative perspective based on the principles of balance and imbalance. An integrative approach is used to help improve quality of life, enhance lifestyle choices and mitigate symptoms and side effects from conventional treatments. By supporting the patient's mind, body and spirit throughout the cancer treatment journey, the primary care physician is in a key position to work with their patient's oncologist to provide supportive care and recommendations during cancer treatment.

摘要

整合肿瘤学将传统和西方癌症治疗方法与古代和传统医学的精华相结合，包括营养、补充剂、气功、草药、身心疗法等等。本文从基于平衡与失衡原则的整合视角提供了一个指导性的概念范式。采用整合方法有助于提高生活质量、增加生活方式选择并减轻传统治疗的症状和副作用。在整个癌症治疗过程中，通过支持患者的身心和精神，初级保健医生处于关键地位，可与患者的肿瘤医生合作，在癌症治疗期间提供支持性护理和建议。
