Dr. Shainhouse's goal in helping cancer patients is to provide safe and effective support during or after conventional therapies such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. To provide effective integrative cancer care, Dr. Shainhouse attempts to communicate directly with medical, surgical or radiation oncologists, or other healthcare providers such as hospital pharmacists. She is passionate about educating the public and \"bridging the gap\" between conventional and adjunctive cancer care to provide her patients with the best possible outcome. Dr. Shainhouse is a regular lecturer at Gilda's Club and all Toronto locations of Wellspring Cancer Support Center. She also volunteers for ReThink Breast Cancer as their naturopathic advisor.
