DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Through its annual conferences, the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) provides a significant forum for presentation of current research and ground-breaking clinical applications of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapies in cancer care. Moreover, these conferences provide an atmosphere conducive to the exchange of important information, while promoting a deeper appreciation of how CAM can combine with conventional approaches in medicine to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes for cancer patients. These objectives work in accordance with the mission of the NIH, as a mechanism of "science in pursuit of fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to extend healthy life and reduce the burdens of illness and disability." These critical, high-level scientific conferences have been held annually since 2005, providing meaningful, current data on the integration of CAM modalities in the conventional care of cancer patients. This year, the venue is again New York -home to an expansive, forward thinking medical population that includes researchers and clinicians from some of the most prestigious traditional and complementary medicine training and research programs in the country. The large number of local CAM professionals is thus leveraged not only as a potential audience, but as members of the Faculty. The non-profit Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) was established to be the prime driving force for the reasoned application of evidence-based CAM therapies into conventional cancer care. The SIO is the main sponsor of this conference; the Scientific Program Committee includes senior professionals from major cancer centers throughout the United States and member countries. We anticipate over 300 attendees, primarily active CAM and conventional practitioners involved in cancer patient care. A large minority of oncologists is expected to take part. The specific aims of this application are to establish an annual evidence-based meeting to: 1) introduce recent clinical and basic science evidence regarding Integrative therapies in cancer care to new and established investigators; 2) promote collaboration between national and international centers of excellence in Integrative Oncology to enhance availability of high quality research in complementary and alternative methods of symptom management; 3) provide continuing education and a forum for exchange of future research ideas between experienced investigators and integrative practitioners. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Complementary and Alternative medical (CAM) therapies are used by a large majority of cancer patients, usually without sufficient research into their mechanisms of action, efficacy, or toxicity. The Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) is devoted to the prudent research and clinical application of CAM therapies in cancer. The annual SIO International Conference, and the Society's journal, serve as vehicles to review and discuss research and clinical outcomes of CAM use in the oncology milieu.

描述（由申请人提供）：通过其年度会议，综合肿瘤学会 (SIO) 提供了一个重要的论坛，用于展示补充和替代医学 (CAM) 疗法在癌症护理中的当前研究和突破性临床应用。此外，这些会议提供了有利于交流重要信息的氛围，同时促进人们更深入地了解 CAM 如何与传统医学方法相结合，为癌症患者实现最佳治疗结果。这些目标与 NIH 的使命相一致，即“科学追求有关生命系统的性质和行为的基础知识，并应用这些知识来延长健康寿命并减少疾病和残疾的负担”。 ” 这些重要的高级别科学会议自 2005 年以来每年举行一次，提供有关 CAM 模式整合到癌症患者常规护理中的有意义的最新数据。今年的举办地再次是纽约，这里聚集了众多具有前瞻性的医学人群，其中包括来自美国一些最负盛名的传统和补充医学培训和研究项目的研究人员和临床医生。因此，大量的本地 CAM 专业人士不仅可以作为潜在的受众，而且可以作为学院的成员。非营利性综合肿瘤学会 (SIO) 的成立是为了将循证 CAM 疗法合理应用到传统癌症治疗中的主要推动力。 SIO是本次会议的主要赞助单位；科学计划委员会包括来自美国和成员国主要癌症中心的高级专业人员。 我们预计将有超过 300 名与会者，其中主要是活跃的 CAM 和参与癌症患者护理的传统从业者。预计大部分肿瘤学家将参加。 本申请的具体目标是建立年度循证会议，以便： 1) 向新的和已建立的研究者介绍有关癌症治疗中综合疗法的最新临床和基础科学证据； 2) 促进国家和国际综合肿瘤学卓越中心之间的合作，以提高症状管理补充和替代方法方面高质量研究的可用性； 3）提供继续教育和论坛，以便经验丰富的研究者和综合实践者之间交流未来的研究想法。 公共健康相关性：大多数癌症患者都使用补充和替代医学 (CAM) 疗法，但通常没有对其作用机制、功效或毒性进行充分的研究。综合肿瘤学会 (SIO) 致力于 CAM 疗法在癌症中的审慎研究和临床应用。年度 SIO 国际会议和学会期刊是回顾和讨论 CAM 在肿瘤学环境中使用的研究和临床结果的工具。
