Research & Publications

Dr. Kadro is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of integrative oncology, nutrition science, and evidence-based natural medicine. His research aims to answer a question that matters deeply to patients and providers alike: how can we safely and effectively integrate natural therapies into cancer care to improve outcomes, manage side effects, and support the whole person? From omega-3 fatty acids and dietary supplements to food environments and health equity, his work spans the breadth of integrative oncology — always grounded in rigorous science and driven by patient need.
