The Hope Organisation was created in 1998 with the goal of offering patients a comprehensive multidisciplinary integrated approach to the treatment of cancer, and other chronic diseases, emphasizing early detection, accurate staging, and a full range of minimally invasive western and complementary options, without significant side effects, using the latest advances in medical technology.

Integrative oncology has the potential to transform both individuals and the system of cancer care. In the process, a more sustainable approach to health care can emerge, grounded in the guiding principles of medicine and focusing on all participants at all levels of their experience. Integrative oncology also has the potential to improve outcomes with regard to prevention, supportive care, and antineoplastic therapy.

We are at a critical juncture in the evolution of health care. In order for the development of an integrative approach to oncology to be successful. the efforts of researchers, clinicians, patient advocate groups, corporate health care workers, and policymakers must be combined. Such a process will allow for rational planning, development, and implementation in the setting of diminishing resources.
