Dear Colleagues,
Dear Oncology Nurses,
Thanks to new immuno-oncology treatment options the prognosis of many advanced tumor diseases has improved considerably in recent years.
With the knowledge of the immunological causes of cancer and the experiences with the new therapeutic options, the patient‘s immune system as an important resource for successful treatment increasingly becoming more and more the focus of interest.
The ESIO Update 2025 will focus on immunotherapies in integrative oncology and therefore deals with the question of possible synergies, but also the potential risks of combining targeted immunotherapies with well established procedures from complementary medicine. Measures to strengthen the Immunosystem have a long tradition in integrative medicine.
Good scientifi c evidence exists on the immunomodulating effects of plant substances, hyperthermia, exercise, mindfulness and stress reduction.
In addition to an overview of the standards and predictive markers in immuno-oncology, the presentations will address, the potential of hyperthemia,
plant extracts, but also the importend role of psychoneuroimmunology. Last but not least an overview will be presented about the management of immunrelated toxisity.
This year, we have once again succeeded in attracting renowned experts for the lectures.
On behalf of the European Society for Integrative Oncology we are very much looking forward to your participation and an intensive exchange with colleagues and friends.
On behalf of the board of ESIO e.V.
