Self-paced and one-on-one support for cancer patients, grounded in the science of integrative oncology and the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

welcome to Insight cancer care

Hooray! You’re here.

A cancer diagnosis can be frightening and overwhelming and often brings with it many more questions than answers.

Insight Cancer Care is here to help–not only to offer powerful complementary oncology treatment approaches, but to empower and help you navigate the unknown road ahead through an East-meets-West perspective, at any phase of your cancer journey.

hi there,

I’m Dr. Bianca Di Giulio

Chinese Medicine Doctor, Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and Integrative Oncology Specialist

If you are dealing with a cancer diagnosis, I’m willing to guess you’ve heard a LOT of talk about treatment. I want to talk for a moment about healing. Chinese medicine tells us that true healing occurs when we treat not just your disease diagnosis and treatment side effects but when we address the underlying imbalances, alongside caring for your heart and spirit. 

As a Chinese medicine doctor with over fifteen years of experience specializing in integrative oncology, I have seen the transformative power of this synergy. By supporting the root and addressing the imbalance of the body, a pathway opens for greater healing potential.

It works.

It’s why I’m committed to sharing this holistic approach to cancer treatment and recovery, and why I created Insight Cancer Care.

An East-Meets-West Approach to Holistic Cancer Care

Diagnosis is not prognosis.

The wisdom of Chinese medicine is grounded in the understanding that the body has an innate ability to self-heal and bring itself to a state of greater wellness.

With integrative cancer therapies, your Western treatment takes the role of “attack therapy” directed solely at the cancer cells. This hyper focus on malignancy, while important, disregards the health of the whole body.

Complementary modalities, like Chinese medicine, focus on your whole-body to strengthen you and assist in healing

Information about holistic cancer care abounds, which can overwhelm newly diagnosed patients seeking integrative support.

Fortunately, top cancer centers like Memorial Sloan Kettering and MD Anderson recognize the value of complementary care and offer integrative oncology programs that offer acupuncture and mindbody therapies.

Western oncology providers are less familiar with the role that Chinese medicine tools like herbal therapy can play alongside cancer treatment. These can significantly alleviate treatment side effects, while supporting the whole system. The Self-Care Series aims to fill this gap in cancer care, providing information, resources and enhancing your healing journey.

  • "After our initial consultation, which included a two-hour assessment and treatment, my husband left their office with more energy and was able to take a walk and eat dinner.

    They prescribed herbal medicine which he took throughout treatment, with his doctor’s approval, and I am confident that this allowed him a more peaceful quality of life, despite his prognosis.”
