Combination therapies & integrative options in modern cancer medicine

Conventional medicine, immunological, and naturopathic options—explained in an understandable way.

Modern oncology now combines different forms of therapy to attack tumors from multiple angles. In addition to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, many patients also use naturopathic and biological complementary therapies to stabilize the immune system, alleviate side effects, and improve quality of life.

 

An important component is dendritic cell therapy (DCT), a personalized immunotherapy that specifically alerts the immune system to tumor cells.

Below you will find an overview of useful combination therapies for the most common types of cancer.
