Uterine Cancer Treatment: Mind-Body Medicine
The Mind-Body Medicine program at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) is designed to help uterine cancer patients and their families explore and leverage the healing power of the mind. Encompassing individual as well as group learning opportunities, this program is a natural extension of the innovative and integrative approach to uterine cancer treatment at CTCA.
Defining Psychoneuroimmunology
Mind-body medicine is based on a relatively new area of care called Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI). "Psycho" refers to your moods, thoughts and emotional states. "Neuro" refers to the central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems in your body. "Immunology" refers to your cellular structures and immune system. PNI explores the influential relationship between your mind, body and immune system. Using a variety of techniques, mind-body medicine can help strengthen your uterine cancer treatment by focusing your energies on healing and health.
Our innovative PNI program offers uterine cancer patients and their families the following:
- Stress management
- Relaxation and imagery training
- Spiritual meditation
- Support groups for you and your family
- Individual, couple and family counseling
- Psychoeducational groups
- Educational resources
- Humor therapy
