PUBLICATION

We have published a retrospective observational study on Advanced ovarian cancer using an integrative model. I am currently in the midst of a retrospective review of a series of almost 50 patients with

  1. Advanced and recurrent cervical cancer
  2. Advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer

to determine outcomes compared to historical controls. This review is being undertaken as a collaborative study with the Ministry of Health. The aim is to be able to demonstrate the benefits of integrative cancer treatment in advanced gynecological cancers. It is hoped, following this, a multi-center trial will be undertaken to further prove its reproducibility and validity in other centers.
