Integrative Oncology is understood as the complement to primary cancer care—such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy—through methods including Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy, Anthroposophic Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and related approaches aimed at improving patients' quality of life and ultimately their survival. Globally, it is now well established that integrative medicine is recognized as medicine. In more than 100 countries, this approach is considered standard.
In Italy, both public and private entities are scientifically advancing this field. We also provide education and training in Integrative Oncology for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. As Past Co-Chair of the Global Commission for Integrative Oncology of the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO), and as Italian Ambassador—together with my colleague Dr. Eran Ben-Arye, Ambassador of the same organization—we are working to spread this approach across Europe, promoting the integration of traditional and complementary therapies in all countries.
It is essential to establish a solid scientific basis for integration in every European country and to lay the foundation for open dialogue with other scientific societies engaged in oncology, all for the benefit of patients's health.
