Integrative cancer care is an emerging approach in cancer treatment that takes into account the impact of diet, exercise, lifestyle, sleep, stress management, nutritional supplements and other factors on an individual's overall well-being.
Integrative Cancer Care
Integrative cancer care recognises that every person’s journey is different. While many continue with conventional oncology treatment, others may not tolerate it, may have reached the limits of what is available, or may prefer a more holistic, supportive approach.
Our focus is on quality of life, comfort, immune resilience and whole-person wellbeing. We do not claim to cure cancer — we provide clarity, support and compassionate medical care when you need it most.
What Is Integrative Cancer Care?
Integrative care brings together:
- conventional medicine, where appropriate
- supportive evidence-informed therapies focused on comfort, resilience and wellbeing
People often seek integrative care when they:
- want additional support alongside their oncology team
- struggle with treatment side effects
- have been told no further options are available
- want a doctor who considers physical, emotional, nutritional and metabolic factors
- want guidance without judgement
CTC Testing & Personalised Support
Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) testing may provide insights into tumour characteristics, inflammation, immune activity and potential sensitivities of interest.
These findings do not diagnose, treat or cure cancer, but can help guide personalised, supportive strategies.
(These tests are not covered by Medicare.)
Supportive Infusions & Natural Compounds
Supportive options may include:
- vitamin C infusions
- selected plant extracts (e.g., curcumin, quercetin, boswellia)
- minerals, antioxidants and metabolic support
- stress, sleep and energy-focused strategies
These are not cancer treatments, but may support quality of life.
Benefits of Supportive Integrative Care
Supportive care may help with:
- fatigue, pain and deconditioning
- appetite, digestion and sleep
- emotional and physical wellbeing
- reducing symptom burden during or after treatment
Important Information
Supportive integrative therapies do not replace conventional cancer treatment. All care is medically supervised and coordinated with your specialists when appropriate.
