About the journal Aims and Scope:
Integrative Cancer Therapies focuses on a new and growing movement in cancer treatment. The journal emphasizes scientific understanding of alternative medicine and traditional medicine therapies, and their responsible integration with conventional health care. Integrative care includes therapeutic interventions in diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress care, and nutritional supplements, as well as experimental vaccines, chrono-chemotherapy, and other advanced treatments. The journal presents scientifically rigorous original research, case studies, current literature reviews, educational roundtables, and commentary on key topics such as: treatment strategies, evaluations of current therapies, models for integrating complementary and conventional treatment in clinical practice, interventions from alternative and traditional medicine, implementing quality-of-life assessment and counseling in the clinical setting, cancer rehabilitation during and following cancer treatments, potential interactions of cancer chemotherapy drugs with frequently used dietary supplements, implementing integrative cancer care strategies into oncology practice, relevant molecular mechanisms and biology behind integrative approaches, impact of timing of chemotherapy administration on toxicity, response, and outcome by leading oncologists, researchers, and health-care professionals. Three unique features of this publication are: Integrative Grand Rounds - insightful case studies from all viewpoints of case management plus commentary from the editors. Point/Counterpoint -- lively discussions of controversial issues such as the interaction of antioxidants supplements and cancer chemotherapy or the effects of soy in treating breast cancer Patient's Perspective- authoritative analysis of new treatments being actively used by patients. This journal will be of particular interest to: medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists; clinical specialists frequently concerned with cancer such as urologists, gynecologists and women's health specialists; oncology and medical nurses; chiropractors; dietitians; pharmacists; and sophisticated lay people.
