What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate disease-free survival in early-stage cancer patients and overall survival outcomes in advanced-stage cancer patients receiving Advanced Integrative Oncology (AIO) treatment. It will collect data from patients at the AIMS Institute, focusing on the effectiveness of naturopathic medicine integrated with conventional cancer treatments. The study addresses a gap in knowledge regarding the outcomes of patients utilizing complementary and alternative medicine therapies in conjunction with standard oncology care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of integrative oncology approaches for improving cancer patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on complementary and alternative medicine in cancer care, this specific approach focusing on naturopathic oncology in an integrative setting is relatively novel.
