| Abstract: | Integrative oncology, as it is implemented in most National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers, refers to the practice of utilizing complementary health modalities in conjunction with conventional medicine. The following chapter will introduce the evidence behind the most utilized forms of integrative oncology and their role in supportive cancer care. This overview aims to familiarize practitioners with the theoretical framework and clinical utility of common complementary modalities, such as acupuncture, yoga, mind-body therapies, as well as nutritional and herbal supplement use in the cancer setting. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved. |
