Alongside technological and medical advancements, humanizing care is also crucial in the fight against cancer. In complement to conventional treatments, it is vital to address the individual in all dimensions of their health. Education, body-mind care, and social assistance are essential yet often overlooked aspects of cancer care. Joining Oncia Community is a commitment to improving the cancer patient experience through a holistic and human-centered approach. Our mission is to raise awareness of integrative oncology and to accelerate global development of complementary care centers in collaboration with hospitals.

Great read on the ‘Prostate 8’ lifestyle changes in Time magazine—highlighting the power of complementary care in improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients. #ProstateCancer #ComplementaryCare #HealthInnovation
It's not everyday that you get quoted in Time magazine! It's always an honour when your work is featured but more important is when you have a chance to provide evidence-based advice to a broad international audience... A great opportunity to share some of the key findings from the Society for Integrative Oncology's recent practice guidelines.
🌟 Oncia Community at IRE’s Town Hall: Sharing the Patient Experience🌟 We were honored to participate at the Town Hall meeting at IRE - Institute for radioelements, a valued partner and key supporter of Oncia Community. While IRE is a global leader in the production and innovation in nuclear medicine, reconnecting with the patient experience is also important. This event provided a unique platform to share Oncia Community’s mission and highlight the value of integrative oncology to IRE employees. Francoise Vamecq shared her personal journey as a cancer patient, emphasizing the necessity of comprehensive, patient-centered care. La Maison Mieux-Être, part of the Belgian Oncocoon care center network, presented its remarkable support for individuals affected by cancer, demonstrating the profound impact of integrative approaches on patients' quality of life. We are deeply grateful for this meaningful opportunity and for your continued support in advancing our mission! 👉 If you too want to engage and help improve the lives of patients and their families, contact us!
