Recording – Oncology Acupuncture 101: Guideline-Based Foundations and Safety Strategies - Conference
This workshop, Oncology Acupuncture 101: Guideline-Based Foundations and Safety Strategies, offers a comprehensive introduction to the integration of acupuncture into oncology care. Hosted at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI), a leader in cancer care and research, and supported by SIO Acupuncture SIG, the session is designed for acupuncturists as well as other integrative oncology professionals, including oncologists, nurses, and allied health providers. By broadening its scope, the workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to integrate acupuncture into multidisciplinary cancer care teams and improve referral pathways. The first half of the session provides foundational knowledge on oncology acupuncture, including its evidence-based applications for managing symptoms such as pain, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), and hot flashes. Presenters will review major integrative oncology guidelines (ASCO, SIO, NCCN) and discuss how acupuncture complements conventional cancer treatments. Specific attention will be given to safety protocols, including lab value interpretation and infection control, ensuring that all participants understand how to safely refer or administer acupuncture in complex oncology settings. The second half emphasizes experiential learning through interactive breakout sessions.

Recording – Synergy in Cancer Care: Strategies for Dietary Supplement Assessment in Patients with Cancer - Conference
Patients with cancer are increasingly looking to incorporate dietary supplement use for mitigation of adverse effects or for their purported anti-cancer properties. Dietary supplements, when combined with cancer therapy, should be evaluated to determine potential risks or interactions by informed health care providers. We propose to conduct a 105-minute workshop to advise clinicians and pharmacists on strategies that will improve decision-making regarding assessment of safety and integration of dietary supplements in cancer care. The workshop will commence with background information and firsthand experience provided by oncology clinicians regarding the use of dietary supplements concurrently with cancer therapy. Following the introduction, experienced integrative medicine pharmacists will discuss the utilization of various tools and resources for assessing the efficacy and safety of dietary supplements. Following this didactic portion of the workshop, the presenters will facilitate breakout sessions where participants will be assigned cases and be asked to identify drug-supplement interactions and any supplement-disease or supplement-laboratory concerns. The interactive portion of the workshop will be followed by a discussion session.
