Participate in an annual world-class symposium where participants will hear the wisdom and experience distilled over many years by a wide range of practitioners from across the spectrum of cancer care. Whatever your connection with the cancer community, whether you are a primary care and/or integrative physician, nurse, oncologist, oncology nurse, researcher, naturopathic physician, herbalist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, nutritionist, psychologist or student, you will leave this conference enriched with a depth of practical clinical approaches, along with a broad understanding of how the experienced practitioner conceptualizes and works with specific cases.

This conference will focus on cancer treatment and prevention, with up to date thinking on cancer care and successful outcomes research, how primary care doctors can become more knowledgeable and participatory in cancer care and aftercare, and be of help to their patients from preventive medicine and therapeutic perspectives.

For those who participated last year at the Cancer Strategies symposium in Scottsdale, please come again. This year’s Advances in Cancer Strategies has many new topics and new presenters, such as Dr. Hal Gunn's work, which builds upon Coley's toxins; cutting edge practice on thermal ablation of tumors, as well as 2 more integrative oncologists and another head of integrative oncology from a major national center (UCLA), and of course, Bernie Siegel, MD. Repeat presenters will be covering new and different topics. Last year we started something amazing. Let’s keep the momentum growing!
