## Resource

Podcast Host and Interviewee: Host (Ashley Aaroe, MD) | Guests (Akanksha Sharma, MD, Soma Sengupta, MD, PhD, MBA) Podcast Description: This episode discusses what it means to practice integrative medicine in a neuro-oncology clinic, joined by guests Akanksha Sharma, MD (Sutter Health) and Soma Sengupta, MD, PhD, MBA (Tufts) - two neuro-oncologists whose work sits at the intersection of tumor-directed therapy, supportive care, and quality of life. We discuss where integrative approaches fit alongside standard treatment, what the evidence does or does not support, and best practices for counseling patients and family members about complementary or alternative approaches.
