Integrated Care Gains Momentum for Breast Cancer Patients

Increasing Body of Evidence Demonstrates Integrative Care is Effective October 1, 2008 — Integrated cancer care is the future of breast cancer treatment, says Dr. Teresa Clarke, Director of Clinical Services. "In addition to conventional cancer treatment, integrated cancer care emphasizes placing the patient at the centre of a mind, body, spirit approach to health and healing. This comprehensive, whole-person approach is empowering, cost-effective and part of the core philosophy at InspireHealth," says Dr. Clarke. A growing body of international research is confirming that this integrative approach is the future of cancer care and prevention. Research shows that among breast cancer patients, an overall healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help to reduce cancer recurrence and improve survival. Vitamin D levels at the time of diagnosis also correlate with survival. Likewise, exercise has been shown to improve survival, reduce fatigue, and enhance quality of life. Practicing relaxation techniques can help to reduce nausea and vomiting in women undergoing chemotherapy as well as help to control hot flashes.
