Welcome!

Our Integrative Oncology team, in collaboration with the Pluta Cancer Center Foundation, has put together a collection of resources to help cancer patients and our community manage the stresses of COVID-19 isolation. We also have classes available via Zoom. Please enjoy these resources and contact us at (585) 486-0630 with questions. 

If you'd like to be added to our regular email distribution list, please email Sydney_John@urmc.rochester.edu.

*Please note, these resources are aimed at helping cancer patients cope with side effects of treatment. If you are looking for information about COVID-19 at URMC, please visit urmc.edu/coronavirus.*

What is integrative oncology? Drs. Alissa Huston and Marilyn Ling explain how it benefits cancer patients in this webinar.
