Artificial intelligence is reshaping cancer care — from diagnostic imaging to treatment planning, from drug discovery to patient monitoring. But what happens when AI meets integrative oncology? At the 12th ARTOI Congress & 2nd SIO Europe Congress, the opening plenary session on May 8 addresses this directly: 🤖 AI in integrative oncology clinical practice and medical education — Lorenzo Anelli How AI tools are already being used in IO settings, and what this means for clinical education and protocol design. 🌐 TCIM and AI: opportunities and challenges — Jeremy Y. Ng Traditional and Complementary Integrative Medicine through the lens of AI: where the evidence is growing, and where the risks lie. 🤝 Treasuring empathy in the AI era: do we still feel the needs of our patients? — Friedemann Schad & Eran Ben-Arye The most human question in the room: as AI takes on more clinical tasks, how do we protect the patient-centered core of integrative care? This isn't a session about AI replacing clinicians. It's about what integrative oncology can offer precisely because it keeps the human dimension at the center — even as technology evolves. 📅 May 8-10, 2026 | Università Pontificia Salesiana, Rome 👉🏻 Register and access the full programme → artoievents.org/registration/ ❓ How do you see AI changing your clinical practice in the next five years? And what should integrative oncology protect as technology advances? #ArtificialIntelligence #IntegrativeOncology #ARTOI2026 #SIOEurope #FutureOfMedicine #CancerCare

In his own words: "I want to tell you about this important congress on integrative oncology taking place in May. It will highlight both the work of SIO Europe — at its second congress — and the significant work done in Italy by ARTOI, now at its 12th congress. Key words: evidence of clinical activity, humanization of care, multidisciplinarity. This is the key word. Leading international and national experts — oncologists and integrative medicine specialists — will come together with one single goal: the health of the oncology patient. Innovative presentations will be shared, and the results achieved in Italian hospitals will be highlighted — where we have done substantial work integrating with allopathic medicine.

Integrative oncology is often discussed in the context of active treatment: supporting chemotherapy, reducing side effects, improving response rates. But what happens when the goal shifts from cure to comfort? What role do complementary approaches play when a patient is facing the end of life? At the 12th ARTOI Congress & 2nd SIO Europe Congress, this question is addressed directly — with scientific rigor and clinical honesty. 🕊️ A Multidisciplinary Approach to Palliative and Supportive Care in Hospice (May 8 Workshop) Acupuncture at the end of life: spiritual approach and practical formulas — Dr. Franco Cracolici The humanistic and spiritual contribution of homeopathy to the terminally ill patient — Dr. Francesco Marino 🤝 My Pain, Your Suffering: Hands-On Clinical Workshop (May 9) A practical session on pain control, anxiety, and spiritual concerns for nurses, physicians, and healthcare providers — including Anthroposophic Art Therapy and mind-body interventions. 🌍 The Carmel to Community IO Palliative Model (May 9 Masterclass) A real-world case study on how integrative oncology can be embedded into community palliative pathways. These sessions don't offer easy answers. They offer something rarer: a serious, multidisciplinary conversation about what whole-person care looks like at the most difficult moment. 📅 May 8-10, 2026 | Università Pontificia Salesiana, Rome 👉🏻 Register and access the full programme → artoievents.org/registration/ ❓ How does your clinical setting currently integrate complementary approaches into palliative or end-of-life care?

@ElisaBaldini3 — Secretary General of IVAA (International Federation of Anthroposophic Medical Associations) and Chair of EUROCAM — will be in Rome in May for the 2nd SIO Europe Congress & 12th ARTOI Congress. In her own words: "I'm very happy to join the SIO Europe Congress this year in Rome. In the context of rising healthcare costs — and cancer care in particular — cost-effectiveness is a key element for the adoption of integrative oncological interventions into healthcare systems. There will be a session on this topic, where we are going to match the results of some studies that will be published this year with political reflections on how to maximize the availability and accessibility of integrative oncology for patients — and how this will benefit patients themselves and healthcare budgets more in general. Looking forward to seeing you there." 📅 May 8-10, 2026 | Università Pontificia Salesiana, Rome ⏰ Early Bird closes March 15 👉🏻 Register → artoievents.org/registration/ ❓ In your experience, what is the biggest barrier to integrating complementary approaches into mainstream oncology care — evidence, cost, or institutional resistance? #ARTOI2026 #SIOEurope #IntegrativeOncology #HealthcarePolicy #CostEffectiveness #CancerCare

For decades, nutrition in oncology was limited to "eat well, stay strong." Today, the evidence is asking a more precise question: can specific dietary interventions — including fasting — actively enhance treatment outcomes? At the 12th ARTOI Congress & 2nd SIO Europe Congress in Rome, two sessions explore this frontier directly: 🍽️ Fasting methods in cancer care — Dr. Samir Sukkar (May 9) The evidence base for different fasting approaches — from intermittent fasting to prolonged fasting protocols — and their integration into active treatment pathways. 🌱 Fasting-mimicking diet in patients with triple negative breast cancer — Dr. Josephine Van Cauwenberge (May 9) One of the most aggressive breast cancer subtypes meets one of the most discussed dietary interventions: what does the clinical evidence actually show? These sessions sit within a broader nutrition programme that includes ketogenic nutrition, anti-inflammatory interventions, food strategies to reduce immunotherapy toxicities, and metabolic approaches to cancer care. 📅 May 8-10, 2026 | Rome 👉🏻 Register and access the full programme → artoievents.org/registration/ ❓ Do you use fasting or dietary protocols in your clinical practice or research?
