Evidence-based design as an entry point for an integrative curative oncology center

The research study of a set of design elements for integrative oncology centers according to the theories of supportive design, where the research study reaches a set of determinants that can be applied to the research sample to come up with a set of recommendations that include raising the design efficiency of oncology centers and enhancing the optimal healing environment for groups of users and their behaviors,.
Materials and Methods: The goal is to reach standards for the design of integrative oncology centers to facilitate the use of the center in promoting an integrated healing psychologically and physically, this is driven by its recognition of the value of patients suffering from cancer and the importance of integrative design for the complete recovery of patients.
Understanding the broad benefits of establishing contact with nature in tumor centers by studying the effect of environmental medicine on the design of tumor centers. It is hoped that the recognition of nature’s role in healing and the adoption of design standards on a large scale in integrative tumor centers will help in reaching a complete cure. It also aims to conclude. Discussing the criteria for designing integrative oncology centers and the desire to reach a different, more comprehensive approach to cancer care called integrative oncology centers, where it examines how to design an integrated cancer treatment center to be more than a functional space, and seeks to become an active entity that helps in a complete physical and psychological recovery. For those suffering with cancer.
Results:1- As a result of the emergence of medical developments, the impact of evidence-based design on tumor centers had to be studied, and the optimal healing environment had to be studied as an influential component in the design of oncology centers to meet modern functional needs in the medical field. 2- As a result of studying the psychological needs of cancer patients, the importance of the physical environment, and the factors affecting its design on the psyche of patients, new integrative principles had to emerge to be taken into account during the design of oncology centers and to consider them as a basic factor to help patients during the healing journey..
Conclusion: The aim of this research thesis is to know the extent to which the oncology centers in Egypt achieve the integrative approach where a more sustainable approach to cancer care can be established based on the guidelines for sustainability as it focuses on all users at all levels, and it also shows the role that architects can play in the integrated approach While designing oncology centers based on the emerging field of evidence-based design and the optimal healing environment model that includes all types of treatment (physical and psychological),
Where personal care is provided on the basis of the physical, psychological and spiritual needs of each patient And this will be done through a comparison of the oncology centers in Egypt and the oncology centers in the world. A knowledge of the availability of the integrated approach in the Egyptian oncology centers will be the cornerstone of the original research component of this study.
