Evidence-based CAM for Cancer Advocates

January 10 - 11, 2008 * West Palm Beach, FL

 

(http://www.breastcancer.net/clicklogs/redirect.php?link=http://www.annieapplese\

edproject.org/) Surveys and studies show that 60-80% of people with

cancer are either interested in, or using, complementary and alternative (CAM)

approaches. And while the oncology community response to patient interest is

growing, it continues to lag far behind the need.

The Evidence-based CAM for Cancer Advocates Conference, sponsored by The

Annie Appleseed Project, brings together advocates from many communities, as

well as those with information on studies in CAM to strategize, network, and

more, that would greatly benefit those with cancer.

This two-day education conference, held in West Palm Beach, FL, will focus

on a multi-disciplinary approach, and will address issues such as nutrition,

dietary supplements, mind-body-spirit relaxation techniques, exercise,

hands-on therapies and much more.

The many conference speakers include:

* Ann E. Fonfa, Patient Advocate, Annie Appleseed Project

* Timothy C. Birdsall, N.D., Vice President, Integrative Medicine,

Cancer Treatment Centers of America

* Judy Jacobson, DrPH, MBA. Department of Epidemiology, Mailman School

of Public Health Columbia University

* Stephen M. Sagar BSc Hons MB BS MRCP FRCR FRCPC, Director of

Integrative Oncology Research Program

* Michael Schachter, MD, CNS, FACAM, Director, The Schachter Center for

Complementary
