Supplements in Cancer Care + Everyday Practice:
What to Use, When, and Why
Supplements come up in nearly every cancer conversation - and in plenty of everyday cases, too. This practical, evidence-informed session helps general practitioners confidently choose and use a short list of high-yield supplements in practice. We’ll focus on probiotics/synbiotics, sulforaphane, omega-3 fatty acids, and SAMe - when to reach for each, how to dose them, and what the research actually supports, including how to use them alongside common treatments. You’ll leave with practical dosing starting points, product selection tips, and real-world pearls you can use right away. You’ll see how these supplements fit into everyday cases across general practice, not just cancer care.
Oncology in Everyday Practice: Yes, You Can!
Cancer cases can be challenging in general practice but with the right tools and a practical approach, many can be managed successfully in-house. In this case-based session, we’ll walk through real-world oncology scenarios GPs encounter regularly. From deciding which mast cell tumor cases are appropriate for Stelfonta® to managing canine lymphoma with Laverdia® when referral isn’t an option and exploring non-IV chemotherapy choices for feline lymphoma, this session offers actionable guidance for confident care. You’ll leave with tips you can implement immediately and the confidence to take on more oncology cases in your clinic.
