Integrated Oncology
Empowering People to Improve their lives.
Our friendly therapists at the DIMS care passionately about patients’ wellbeing, offering cancer therapies with your needs always in mind. Our therapies act alongside your existing treatments as we work with your oncologist to determine the best therapy for you.
Our integrated oncology services
We offer a wide range of integrative cancer support options so you can receive the right therapy for your unique needs.
Adult Integrated Oncology
At the DIMS, we seek to use integrative medicine to support traditional chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy. These are areas where Indian medicine truly excels, but these treatments still have substantial limitations, drawbacks and side effects.
Children Integrated Oncology
Improve the wellbeing of your entire family, not just the patient. Parents, siblings and other family members can be equally devastated by a cancer diagnosis as the patient, and our holistic and psychological treatments seek to improve the mental and physical health of the entire family, improving the quality of life for all.
Integrated Medicine
A holistic approach to address more than symptoms, looking at the root cause of disease and ill health. This means we treat each patient as an integrated whole, rather than a list of symptoms and test results. We base our treatments on your physical and psychological state, as well as your lifestyle, nutrition and stress levels.
Emotional Wellbeing
Traditional ‘Indian’ medical treatment often fails to address cancer patients’ emotional experience. There has long been a tendency for conventional medicine to ignore holistic concerns and to treat the ‘mechanical’ aspects of illness and disease, while failing to treat the ‘whole person’.
What is integrated oncology?
With integrated oncology, we put you at the heart of treatment with complementary therapies to help and enhance patient wellbeing.
Integrated oncology is all about collaboration. We work closely with your oncologist, offering therapies that complement conventional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Our integrated oncology includes intravenous therapies. These infusions provide your body with essential nutrients like vitamin C and plant-derived infusions like mistletoe to combat the effects cancer and its treatment have on your body.
With your oncologist, we’ll look at:
- Your cancer type
- What conventional treatments you’re undergoing
- Your symptoms caused by traditional cancer treatment
- Your overall health goals
Our caring team then crafts personalized integrative cancer therapies to support you during traditional cancer treatments.
Who is integrated oncology for?
Our integrative cancer therapies are for cancer patients at any stage of the disease. They can help manage the side effects of conventional cancer treatments, making them suitable for anyone with a cancer diagnosis.
Let’s say you’re experiencing side effects of traditional cancer treatments, such as nausea, fatigue and lack of appetite. Our complementary therapies may minimise and manage them effectively.
