UCSD Integrative ONCOLOGY 2013: A groundbreaking event with transformative potential

A GROUNDBREAKING EVENT WITH TRANSFORMATIVE POTENTIAL: Join national experts, health professionals, cancer survivors, and community members in a landmark event hosted by the UC San Diego Center for Integrative Medicine: Integrative Oncology 2013. This conference discusses the complex relationship between tumor, host, and dietary, lifestyle, and environmental factors, and what can be done to foster an “anti-cancer” diet and lifestyle to help rectify imbalances and reduce the drivers of cancer. Integrative Oncology addresses all aspects of cancer care, using evidence from cancer epidemiology, basic science, and clinical research – together with the ancient wisdom of natural healing systems such as Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.

RENOWNED SPEAKERS - EMPOWERING APPROACHES: Speakers will focus on three core areas in which they encourage active self-care and support a whole person approach: (1) Diet and lifestyle for cancer prevention, (2) Evidence-based integrative therapies and (3) Integrative modalities that improve symptoms and enhance the well-being, functioning, and quality of life of cancer patients. Topics include: optimal nutrition, physical activity, massage, manual therapies, acupuncture, herbs, biofeedback, meditation, guided imagery, integrative psychiatry, biofield therapies, expressive arts, yoga, and tai chi.
