Abstract
STATE OF INTEGRATIVE ONCOLOGY RESEARCH IN ITALY AND ACROSS EUROPE
Integrative Oncology is understood to be the adjunct to primary cancer care, such as chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy, of methods such as Phytotherapy, Homeopathy, Anthroposophy, TCM, and related to improve the quality of life and ultimately the survival of patients with cancer. Worldwide, it is now well established that integrated medicine is considered medicine. In more than 100 countries this type of approach is considered normal. Public and private entities exist in Italy that scientifically advance this reality. We also give a Education and training in Integrative Oncology for the doctors and for nursing or other healthcare subjects. As Co-Chair of the Global Commission for Integrative, Oncology of the SIO together with my colleague Dr. Eran Ben-Arye ambassador of the same organization, we are trying to spread this approach also in Europe in order to promote in all countries the use of traditional and integrative therapies. We need to lay the scientific basis of integration in every European country and lay the foundation for open discussion with other Scientific Societies that are interested in Oncology for the good health of patients.
