Integrative Oncology: Concepts and strategies for clinical Practice
Over two-thirds of all people diagnosed with cancer utilise complementary and natural therapies alongside conventional treatment. People with cancer are more sophisticated and knowledgeable than ever before about possible treatments. More and more people with cancer are seeking practitioners who are experienced in integrative and natural cancer care to help guide them through this illness.
This one-day seminar is a scientifically based overview of natural integrative cancer care. The biomolecular rationale, evidence base, indications and contraindications for specific natural cancer therapies will be presented.
This seminar will highlight key natural therapies for breast, prostate, colon and lung cancers as well as natural management strategies for common toxicities associated with conventional treatment. The attendee will be able to confidently implement the information from this seminar into their clinical practice immediately.
