Integrated Cancer Treatment 

If you ever hear —"this is all we can do for you or there are no other effective alternatives", it is possible they mean in terms of Western medicine, s and only about their options, no necessarily the availability of conventional therapies elsewhere or treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine. We may be able to help you. 

We have established international medical alliances and cooperation with eminent doctors and world-class medical facilities. This allows us to have expended access to the most advanced conventional therapies and evidence-based complementary treatments available. The availability of therepies can vary and the patient may have to travel abroad for certain treatments.

Clinical studies have shown that integrated cancer treatments using conventional medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) optimize effectiveness and reduce the side effects of conventional therapies, enhance tumoral response, increase survival rates and improve the quality of life of cancer patients, compared to patients receiving only conventional medical care. This reality is commonly unknown or ignored in the West, where many patients do not receive integrated treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies that can be crucial to achieve better results.

Besides providing health care, our mission is to educate people in healing and preventing illnesses. Today, it is very important to know as much as possible about evidence-based treatment options available in the United States and abroad. Our program of integrated clinical oncology reaches beyond geographical boundaries and has expanded access to the most advanced cancer therapies available internationally.
