OXIDATIVE STRESS AND INFLAMMATION IN CANCER PATIENTS

(video section is here)

Saturday March 27th 2010
I.N.T. Room A

   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.
