Day 2: NCI Cancer Integrative Medicine Grantee Conference (Virtual)

  • Date: Wednesday, December 11, 2024
  • Time: 10:00am EST to 5:00pm EST
NCI Cancer Integrative Medicine Grantee Conference: December 10-11, 2024

Integrative medicine service for cancer is an approach to medical care that recognizes the benefit of combining conventional (standard) therapies (such as chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery) with complementary therapies (such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, lifestyle modifications, and mind-body techniques like meditation, Tai chi and yoga) in a coordinated way that have been shown to be safe and effective. Cancer Integrative Medicine or Integrative Oncology service tries to address the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental factors that can affect a person’s health and well-being to enhance the overall quality of life and therapeutic outcomes. The use of integrative medicine approaches to cancer has grown within care settings across the United States. Evidence-based rigorously scientific research exploring the potential benefits for safety and efficacy to inform the integrative medicine practice and service is critically important.
