Integrative Oncology Support
Evidence-informed complementary care designed to optimize overall health, resilience, recovery, and quality of life alongside conventional cancer treatment.
Panel 01
Who this program is for
This program is designed for adults who want additional supportive care while navigating cancer screening, a confirmed cancer diagnosis, active treatment, recovery, or long-term survivorship.
It may be appropriate for patients who:
- Are currently receiving chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, or other oncology treatment
- Are preparing for or recovering from cancer-related surgery
- Are experiencing ongoing symptoms or treatment-related side effects
- Have completed treatment and want support with recovery and survivorship
- Want professional guidance before using supplements, IV therapies, or complementary treatments
- Have questions about additional cancer testing or screening options
- Want their supportive care coordinated with their existing oncology treatment plan
A comprehensive assessment can help clarify your current needs, identify factors that may require further investigation, and guide personalized supportive recommendations based on your diagnosis, treatment plan, medical history, goals, and clinical suitability.
Complementary care is intended to work together with standard cancer treatment rather than replace or delay it.

Panel 06
Individualized treatment options
Your care plan is developed from your assessment rather than a standard template. Depending on your diagnosis, current treatment, symptoms, goals, risk factors, and clinical suitability, your options may include the following.
Advanced Oncology Testing
RGCC Testing (Oncotrace & Oncogenomics)
A personalized consultation for patients considering additional liquid-biopsy, circulating tumour cell, or molecular testing alongside their established oncology care.
The consultation focuses on understanding the specific clinical question the test is intended to address, whether its results may meaningfully affect care, and how the findings would be interpreted alongside standard pathology, imaging, and oncology assessments.
- Review of the confirmed diagnosis, pathology, and current treatment plan
- Clarification of the intended purpose of testing
- Review of previous imaging, laboratory, or molecular findings
- Discussion of circulating tumour cell and molecular-testing concepts
- Explanation of possible benefits, uncertainties, and limitations
- Discussion of false-positive, false-negative, or inconclusive findings
- Consideration of whether the result would change an established treatment or follow-up plan
- Review of potential financial and emotional implications
- Coordination with the patient’s oncologist where appropriate
- Follow-up review of results in the context of the patient’s overall clinical picture
Multi-Cancer Screening Consultation
Galleri Testing
A consultation for selected adults who want to discuss multi-cancer early-detection testing as an additional screening option where the test is available and clinically appropriate.
Galleri is intended to look for cancer-associated signals in the blood before symptoms appear. It is not a hereditary genetic-risk test, does not diagnose cancer, and is not designed to monitor patients who are currently undergoing active cancer treatment.
- Review of age, medical history, family history, and cancer risk factors
- Review of current symptoms and previous cancer diagnoses
- Confirmation that routine recommended cancer screenings are up to date
- Pre-test counselling about possible results
- Discussion of false-positive and false-negative results
- Explanation that a positive result requires further diagnostic testing
- Explanation that a negative result does not rule out cancer
- Discussion of possible imaging, procedures, costs, or anxiety following an abnormal result
- Coordination of appropriate follow-up after results are received
- Referral to primary care, genetics, oncology, or another specialist when appropriate
Adjunctive Supportive Therapies
High-Dose IV Vitamin C & Adjunctive Complementary Therapies
An individualized consultation for patients interested in high-dose IV vitamin C or other complementary therapies as possible adjunctive support during or after cancer treatment.
These therapies are considered only after reviewing the patient’s diagnosis, oncology treatment plan, medications, laboratory findings, potential risks, and personal goals. Coordination with the treating oncologist may be required before treatment begins.
- Review of the cancer diagnosis and current treatment
- Clarification of the patient’s supportive-care goals
- Review of medications, chemotherapy agents, supplements, and possible interactions
- Kidney-function assessment
- Screening for G6PD deficiency when appropriate
- Review of kidney-stone or renal-disease history
- Assessment of hydration and fluid-related risks
- Baseline and follow-up laboratory testing when clinically indicated
- Discussion of the available evidence and its limitations
Treatment is not automatically recommended. All options are discussed after an appropriate assessment.
