At muy center, The Farber Center for Radiation Oncology we use and coordinate the best evidence-based treatments (i.e. surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) with complimentary modalities (i.e. acupuncture, massage, stress reduction, herbal/botanicals, etc.) with the goal of treating the cancer, preventing recurrence and reducing side effects and symptoms. We do all of this in an environment that soothes and nurtures the patient. No matter what kind of treatment a cancer patient receives, the fight against cancer is more than a physical challenge. It impacts everything from emotional well-being to financial stability. I believe that caring for a patient is caring for a person. I and my staff realize that people exist within a matrix of family, friends, jobs, homes, neighborhoods, geographical areas, and psychological and cultural environments, all of which can influence health and disease. Our mission is to develop a treatment plan that is right for our patients and their loved ones in an environment that supports and nurtures them. Going to a physician who believes in integrative oncology won’t change your diagnosis, but it will put your body in a better place to get healthy. Integrative oncology is so important.
