Practitioner Training: Cancer Stem Cells and Botanicals

Evidence and outcomes of botanical agents integrated with standard of care with ONI Instructor with Dr. Holly Lucille, RN, ND, ONC

Whether practitioners have had additional post graduate training in oncology or not, we all see patients who are going through conventional cancer treatments. How can we, as practitioners, offer best practices to support our patient/client’s best outcomes? Part of it, of course, is continuing to recommend proper diets and lifestyle measures – still two of the best preventative measures of cancer. But it also requires being open to new discoveries that botanicals – possibly more than conventional drugs – can target chemo-resistant cancer stem cells that spark recurring metastasis. Even when patients respond well to conventional treatment, cancer stem cells can instigate return of tumors even more aggressive than the original condition. However, recent leading-edge research of botanical extracts and their actions on cancer stem cells may provide patients and practitioners alike with better – and truly effective – integrative treatment options.

Learning objectives:
1. Participants will learn about the persistence of cancer via stem cell reactivation.
2. Participants will learn how specific botanical extracts can work with chemotherapy drugs and conventional treatment.
3. Participants will have a better understanding of why the specific traits of botanical extracts are necessary for integrative cancer treatment to be successful.
