Six pillars of lifestyle medicine within the Integrative Oncology Consultation and its potential role for modern scientific oncology
Abstract
Integrative oncology is an evidence-based, lifestyle-oriented approach designed to alleviate the side effects of cancer and standard oncological treatments. More and more patients seek holistic approaches in addition to conventional medical treatment. For this reason, an integrative oncology consultation service has been established at Ulm University Hospital. The service aims to improve patients' health literacy and empower them to actively participate in their care by providing evidence-based guidance on supportive, self-managed interventions.
