The care of malignant disease is shifting from a reactive approach to a proactive, preventative, personalized and participatory mode. Evidence-based individualized care that addresses the “whole person”− mind, body and spirit− is the quintessence of high quality cancer care. Who should attend? Oncology and medical professionals − integrative and conventionally trained − including: physicians, scientists and researchers, oncology nurses, health care administrators, nutritionists, naturopaths, acupuncturists, massage therapists and other complementary therapy practitioners. Patients, advocates and employers are also welcome. KEYNOTE SPEAKER Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD Director, National Institutes of Health SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKERS STANTON L.
