What Is SIO? *new* Click here for our most useful SIO pages: Linktr.ee/integrativeonc Founded in 2003, SIO is the premier multi-disciplinary professional organization for integrative oncology. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, SIO enables communication, education, and research to occur by bringing together practitioners from multiple disciplines focused on the care of cancer patients and survivors. Mission: The mission of the Society for Integrative Oncology is to advance evidence-based, comprehensive, integrative healthcare to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. SIO has consistently encouraged rigorous scientific evaluation of both pre-clinical and clinical science, while advocating for the transformation of oncology care to integrate evidence-based complementary approaches. The vision of SIO is to have research inform the true integration of complementary modalities into oncology care, so that evidence-based complementary care is accessible and part of standard cancer care for all patients across the cancer continuum. As an interdisciplinary and interprofessional society, SIO is uniquely poised to lead the "bench to bedside"​ efforts in integrative cancer care. Who Is SIO? Members share the common goals of excellent comprehensive patient care, enhancement of anti-cancer therapy, supportive care and prevention of cancer. Through SIO, they are part of a unique multidisciplinary community of oncologists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, nutritionists, complementary therapy practitioners, naturopathic doctors, herbalists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and many other health care practitioners. Members are in academic and health care institutions, small businesses, and corporations, and also include individual practitioners.
