					   Our understanding of 
					oxidative stress and infection in cancer patients has 
					advanced notably over the last 15 years. The conference has 
					engaged a faculty of experienced and qualified speakers to 
					offer an up-to-date panorama of advances and open questions 
					relating to oxidative stress and infection in the 
					oncological setting.
					   By reviewing the literature and recounting personal 
					experience in the context in the main conference topics, the 
					speakers will provide not just a theorical overview but also 
					practical indications for identifying problems due to 
					oxidative stress and recurrent infections in cancer patients.
					   A parallel aim of the Conference is to examine the safety 
					and standardization of plant medicinal products and provide 
					an overview of the chemiotherapeutic agents of plant origin 
					useful in cancer patients.
					Approaches to the treatment of chronic infection that go 
					beyond the use of antibiotics and instead work in concert 
					with the patient's immune system, will also be examined.
					   Finally, aspects of the dietary prevention of cancer and 
					degenerative diseases in general will be discussed with 
					particular reference to the control of oxidative stress.
					   Participants will come 
					away from the Conference with knowledge and skills that will 
					help them to improve relations with their patients, and 
					contribute positively to the slow processes of humanizing 
					medicine and containing the costs of treatments.
