In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Richard T. Lee, who was an instrumental member of the committee to analyze and review the health literature related to integrative approaches to manage pain in patients with cancer. The Society of Integrative Oncology (SIO) and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) published the guidelines developed by the committee. The guidelines recommend and rate the level of evidence for specific integrative approaches, like acupuncture, acupressure, hypnosis, and massage, to manage pain from cancer. Dr. Lee is the Medical director of the Integrative Medicine Program at City of Hope. As an oncologist, his philosophy is all about treating the whole patient by bringing together Western medicine with integrative therapies.
