Dr. Micozzi's book is intended to provide physicians from all studies of medicine with guidance on how to provide your cancer patients with "whole care". This text provides a comprehensive resource, for students preparing to become doctors and existing medical practitioners, to appreciate the advances of complementary, alternative, and integrative medical therapies.The key topics of the book include:
- Up-to-date information on the uses of diet, nutrition, and herbs
- Elucidations of the use of mind-body therapies such as Guided Imagery, Expressive Therapies, and spirituality
- Legal and medical guidance for incorporating Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, and Ayurvedic Medicine in cancer care

The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (2004), says that up to 80% of cancer patients receiving oncology and radiation therapies also supplement their treatments with complementary and integrative medicines.

Dr. Micozzi's book is the first integrative oncology text for health professionals, and as such, it is essential reading for the incorporation of evidence-based practice into the care of patients with cancer and toward the prevention of cancer in the general population.
