Society for Integrative Oncology

The Society for Integrative Oncology (abbreviated SIO) is a multidisciplinary professional society dedicated to studying how to apply evidence-based integrative medicine to the treatment of cancer. It was established in 2003 and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.[1] The founding president of the SIO was Barrie Cassileth,[2] and in October 2013, Heather Greenlee of Columbia University was named president.[3] Since the SIO's November 2015 meeting, its president has been Jun Mao of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.[4] Each fall, beginning in 2004, the SIO has held an international conference.[2] From 2003 to 2010, the SIO published a peer-reviewed journal: from 2003 to 2005, it was entitled the Journal of Cancer Integrative Medicine, after which it was renamed the Journal of the Society for Integrative Oncology.
