Destroy the Tumor
Hyperthermia, IPT low-dose chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and ECT target cancer cells directly while minimizing collateral damage to healthy tissue.
Cancer Therapy
Integrative Cancer Treatment
We treat the patient, not just the tumor. Our integrative approach combines evidence-based biological therapies with conventional oncology to improve outcomes, reduce side effects, and support quality of life.
Is this you?
“There is nothing more we can offer” is a sentence you are not ready to accept.
Or you heard the gentler version: “Let’s focus on quality of life.” You have spent nights reading about hyperthermia, IPT and immune therapy, and you cannot tell the evidence from the noise. You want a physician to sort it with you, honestly.
This page describes what integrative oncology means here, what we combine, and how we grade the evidence for each therapy.
The Integrative Difference
Why Integrative Oncology?
Conventional oncology excels at destroying cancer cells through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. But cancer is a systemic disease. Destroying the tumor without addressing the biological terrain that enabled it often leads to recurrence, treatment resistance, and a diminished quality of life.
Integrative oncology asks a different question: how can we fight the cancer while simultaneously strengthening the patient? This means supporting the immune system, optimizing cellular metabolism, reducing inflammation, managing side effects, and restoring the body’s own anti-cancer defenses.
At St. George Hospital, integrative oncology is not an alternative to conventional treatment. It is a more complete form of cancer care that addresses the full complexity of the disease. Under the clinical leadership of Dr. Martin Rößner and Dr. Frederick Götte, our oncology program combines decades of experience in internal medicine, hematology, and biological cancer therapies.
How we treat
The Four Pillars of Our Cancer Program
Activate the Immune System
Dendritic cell therapy, mistletoe injections, thymus peptides, and fever therapy reawaken the immune system's ability to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Detoxify & Repair
Liver support, high-dose vitamin C, glutathione, and targeted detoxification reduce the toxic burden from both cancer metabolism and prior treatments.
Optimize the Terrain
Anti-inflammatory nutrition, hormonal balancing, microbiome restoration, and stress management address the biological conditions that allow cancer to thrive.
Patient Profiles
Who Benefits from Our Program?
Our integrative oncology program serves patients at every stage of their cancer journey:
- Patients seeking to complement conventional chemotherapy or radiation with supportive biological therapies
- Patients who have completed conventional treatment and want to reduce recurrence risk
- Patients with advanced or recurrent cancer exploring additional treatment options
- Patients who cannot tolerate standard chemotherapy doses and need a gentler approach
- Patients seeking a second opinion on their treatment strategy
- Patients who want proactive immune support during and after cancer treatment
We treat a wide range of cancer types. The most common at St. George Hospital include breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lymphoma.
How we treat
The Four Pillars of Our Cancer Program
1
Medical Record Review
Before your arrival, our oncology team reviews your complete medical history, pathology reports, imaging, and prior treatment records. We may request additional laboratory work.
2
On-Site Diagnostic Assessment
Upon arrival, you undergo a comprehensive evaluation including immune status, tumor markers, circulating tumor cell analysis, nutritional status, organ function, and overall health assessment.
3
Individualized Treatment Plan
Our medical team develops a personalized protocol drawing from our full range of therapeutic modalities, tailored to your cancer type, stage, prior treatments, and current health.
4
Intensive Treatment Phase
During your 2-4 week stay, you receive daily treatments according to your protocol. These may include hyperthermia, IPT, immune therapy, IV nutrients, and supportive care.
5
Follow-Up & Continuation
You receive a detailed discharge plan, ongoing supplementation guidance, and scheduled follow-up consultations. Many patients return for maintenance cycles every 3-6 months.
Evidence & Experience
A Track Record of Integrative Oncology
St. George Hospital has practised integrative oncology since its founding in 1991. Our experience encompasses:
- Peer-reviewed publications on hyperthermia, IPT, and biological cancer therapies
- Decades of clinical experience with combination protocols
- Participation in international oncology conferences and research collaborations
- Ongoing outcome documentation and quality improvement
We are transparent about what integrative oncology can and cannot do. We do not make promises of cure. We offer honest, experienced medical guidance and a comprehensive treatment approach that has helped thousands of patients.

Core Integrative Cancer Therapies
Whole-Body Hyperthermia
Systemic fever-range therapy activates immune defenses, enhances drug delivery, and directly damages cancer cells through heat stress.
What a whole-body hyperthermia session involves →IPT Chemotherapy
Low-dose insulin-potentiated chemotherapy targets cancer cells more selectively, significantly reducing treatment side effects.
How IPT low-dose chemotherapy works →Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Photosensitizing agents activated by specific light wavelengths create reactive oxygen species that destroy tumor cells.
What photodynamic therapy involves →Immune Therapy
Comprehensive immune support including mistletoe, thymus peptides, and dendritic cell therapy to strengthen anti-cancer immunity.
What immune therapy involves →Local-Regional Hyperthermia
Targeted heat therapy applied directly to tumor regions increases sensitivity to concurrent chemotherapy and radiation.
