This conference aims to unlock the scientific potential behind integrative cancer therapies and establish an evidence-based standard of care, by highlighting the latest evidence in integrative oncology as well as innovative research methodology. As a result, clinicians may change their practice, and researchers may identify new areas of exploration or innovative ways to conduct their research, all with the sole aim to improve cancer patients' quality of life. As Samuel H. Golter, one of City of Hope’s early leaders, summarized it, “There is no profit in curing the body if, in the process, we destroy the soul.”
Each year, APHA’s Annual Meeting and Expo convenes about 12,000 public health professionals and partners from around the world to engage, collaborate and grow.

We hope you’ll join us to learn from your peers, hear from today’s leaders, network with exhibitors and make long-lasting connections.
