CCC 2000 Goals

This year's conference, Comprehensive Cancer Care 2000: Integrating Complementary and Alternative Therapies, will continue and build upon the important work of CCC I and II. The goal for CCC 2000 is to continue bringing those who are conducting the most innovative research on complementary and alternative therapies for cancer together with the most distinguished mainstream oncologists to evaluate promising therapies and how they can successfully be integrated into comprehensive cancer care.

CCC 2000 will build upon the work of CCC I and II by focusing on (1) developing integrative programs in cancer centers and (2) exploring the state-of-the-art in integrated oncology practices and (3) exploring integrative treatments for specific cancers. The goals for CCC 2000 are:

• To present the latest integrative treatments: for breast cancer; for prostate cancer; in pediatric oncology
• To present the latest mind-body approaches and their integration into practice
• To highlight the best programs and experience in integrating CAM into practice
• To provide an update on the latest issues in research methodology and funding
• To present the best programs that use nutrition and herbal therapies and integrate them into clinical practice
• To provide tools to help patients make successful treatment choices and cope with their illness
• To support achievement of these goals, CCC 2000 will also include overviews of national priorities by the Directors of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM).
