Cancer rates are rising globally, with metabolic dysfunction playing a critical role in cancer development and progression, the need for a multidisciplinary, integrative approach has never been more urgent. Conventional oncology has made significant strides, but the growing body of evidence on complementary and metabolic-based therapies suggests that integrating these methods can enhance treatment efficacy, improve patient outcomes, and mitigate side effects.
At the upcoming Dubai Conference on April 12th, 2025, leading experts in metabolic oncology, functional medicine, and integrative therapies will explore cutting-edge advancements in cancer care, giving healthcare professionals the tools they need to apply these approaches in practice.
Why Integrative Oncology?
Cancer is not just a genetic disease—it is profoundly influenced by metabolic and lifestyle factors. Research has shown that chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, poor mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and nutrient deficiencies contribute to both cancer initiation and progression.
While conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy remain the gold standard, they often fail to address the underlying metabolic imbalances that drive cancer. This is where integrative oncology comes in—leveraging nutrition, targeted nutraceuticals, metabolic therapies, and advanced testing to support patients through treatment and improve outcomes.
At the conference, speakers such as Dr. Wafaa Abdel-Hadi, Dr. Abdul Kadir Slocum, Dr. Kristi Morlan Hughes, and Dr. Heidi Kussmann will delve into evidence-based integrative therapies that complement conventional treatments and empower practitioners with actionable strategies.
Some of the Key Topics our Experts will be Diving in Deeper on the day:
- The Role of Metabolic Health in Cancer Development
Cancer is increasingly being recognised as a metabolic disease, driven by dysfunctional mitochondria, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. Keynote speakers will discuss:
✔️ The connection between glucose metabolism and cancer growth
✔️ How metabolic flexibility impacts cancer progression and patient survival
- Hyperthermia: Using Heat to Combat Cancer
Hyperthermia is emerging as a promising adjunct therapy in oncology. This technique involves raising tumour temperatures to selectively damage cancer cells while enhancing the effects of chemotherapy and radiation.
Key discussion points:
✔️ Mechanisms of action—how hyperthermia disrupts tumour metabolism
✔️ Evidence-based protocols for integrating hyperthermia with conventional care
✔️ Clinical outcomes and who can benefit the most

- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for Cancer Patients
Cancer thrives in low-oxygen (hypoxic) environments. HBOT increases oxygenation, improving cellular energy production, reducing tumour aggressiveness, and enhancing the effects of conventional treatments.
Key discussion points:
✔️ How oxygen therapy modulates the tumor microenvironment
✔️ Clinical applications—which cancer types benefit most?
✔️ Safety, dosage, and integration with chemotherapy and immunotherapy
- High-Dose Intravenous Vitamin C (IVC) in Cancer Therapy
IVC is one of the most researched adjunct cancer therapy, with studies showing its ability to reduce tumour growth, support immune function, and improve quality of life.
Key discussion points:
✔️ The pro-oxidative effect of IVC on cancer cells
✔️ Clinical research on IVC as an adjuvant to chemotherapy and radiation
- Mistletoe, Curcumin & Medicinal Mushrooms in Cancer Care
Natural compounds are playing an increasing role in supporting immune function, reducing inflammation, and enhancing conventional treatments.
Key discussion points:
✔️ Mistletoe therapy—how it modulates the immune system and improves quality of life
✔️ Curcumin—its **anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, and chemo-sensitising properties
✔️ Medicinal mushrooms—their role in immune enhancement and cancer prevention
