Integrative Oncology - Supporting Living Well with Cancer
In this session we will discuss how integrative oncology (IO) approaches can transform support for those living with advanced and metastatic cancer, shifting from pure symptom management to optimising whole person resilience, minimising side effects of ongoing treatment and promoting better quality of life at any stage.
Dr Fuller-Shavel will discuss her integrative oncology framework, the importance of dynamic and aligned multidisciplinary input and practical application of IO in brief case vignettes. Dr Ravindran will give an overview of how integrative pain management can benefit people with cancer and open up the clinician’s toolkit.
