When we speak about neoplasia we have the sensation of not having many opportunities to offer patients. May be if we think about conventional therapy, this might be correct. If instead, we evaluate the opportunity that is offered with integration, perhaps we will be able to have a more positive concept. Integrated oncology in the widest sense of the word is a method which is a broader approach in the oncological panorama: The use of natural substances and methods in combination with conventional cancer treatments help us obtain more results. We know about many substances which can give significant advantages when used in combination with traditional cures. Some works have given us several good examples: Aleo and Carboplatin, to name only a few. But we must not forget the traditional complementary cures: Acupuncture, Homeopathy, TCM. Acupuncture is one of the most widely used methods for decreasing the undesirable/side effects of antineoplastic drugs or for reducing pain. However scientific studies also confirm its indispensable and independent energizing effect as a cure for the patient. Integrated therapy in oncology is a valid aid for patients affected by neoplasia. Its use in clinical cases is by now a prerogative of ARTOI. In this work the therapeutical models/protocols which are studied and applied by doctors who follow teachings and practical applications of ARTOI such as herbal medicine, homeopathy, nutraceuticals, traditional acupuncture, and microsystems acupuncture techniques.
