In the new episode of our Breast Health podcast, PD Dr. med. Constanze Elfgen speaks with Dr. med. Myrjam-Alice Twyla Müller, Head of Complementary and Integrative Medicine at the Affidea brustCare Breast Center Zurich.

Together, they discuss how integrative medicine can support and accompany breast cancer patients – in an evidence based, individualized way and alongside conventional medical treatment.

Topics include:

• the role of integrative oncology in modern breast cancer treatment
• how acupuncture, nutrition, physical activity, and stress reduction can provide supportive benefits
• which complementary methods are meaningful – and where caution is needed
• how patients can actively contribute to their wellbeing and quality of life
• why scientific evidence is essential in integrative medicine as well

The episode highlights how modern oncology and holistic approaches can complement each other meaningfully, with the goal of supporting patients in the best possible way during and after breast cancer treatment.

An episode for everyone who would like to learn more about integrative medicine and understand which supportive approaches can truly be used effectively and evidence based today.
