CancerGuides® is the most comprehensive training program in integrative oncology in the country. We equip health professionals and patient advocates to work with people with cancer and their families to create safe, effective, individualized programs of care.
Program founded: 2001
Created as a result of the CMBM-sponsored Comprehensive Cancer Care Conference, held in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003 in Washington, DC. The conferences served to nurture a broad, inclusive conversation about integrative cancer care among conventional and complementary practitioners, researchers and patient advocates—and the need for a training program helping with the process of guiding cancer patients along the pathway of individualized care became clear.
