Basic philosophy of integrative oncology is that modalities such as acupuncture, nutrition, psychological counseling, some specific botanical and fungal ‘supplements’ can improve QOL.

Basic philosophy of naturopathic oncology is that 1) the natural world and its medicine, both known and unknown, is able to provide 

safe and effective treatments for cancer patients to improve high quality survival; 2) cancer is also a mind‐body problem and requires psychological interventions.

Goals of advanced IO in ovarian cancer includes improve chemo sensitivity, decrease dose‐limiting toxicities of chemotherapy, reduce risk of recurrence after primary cancer treatment, palliation of symptoms and improving quality of death & dying.

Turkey Tail: Trametes (Coriolus) versicolor, commonly called Turkey Tail is a small flexible polypore fungus that is an important part of the forest ecology as a recycler of dead and dying trees in forests throughout the world. In Japan, T. versicolor is know as kawaratake and in China, the fungus is called Yun Zhi or “cloud-like fungus”

Bastyr PFS and OS results?

Not great but better than concurrent published trials in ECOG 0‐1 women with ovarian cancer.

Maybe IV high dose ascorbate helps improve PFS and OS in stage 4 ovarian cancer patients.
