The Role of Natural Medicine in Cancer Treatment

 

Natural therapies can serve as a helpful complement to standard medical care for cancer. Providence Cancer Center’s Integrative Medicine Program invites you to learn about safe and scientifically sound natural therapies that may help you stay cancer-free or improve your response to cancer treatment. Diet and exercise, botanicals, acupuncture, massage and meditation are some of the natural approaches that will be discussed by these experts from the Providence Integrative Medicine Program team: Miles Hassell, M.D., medical director; Ken Weizer, N.D.; Loch Chandler, N.D., MSOM, L.Ac.; and Cindy Reuter, N.D., MSOM, R.D., L.Ac. Our experts also will be available to answer your questions.
