The CMA Certification in Integrative Oncology is an advanced professional training course that offers valuable knowledge about cancer development and treatment options to complementary and integrative health practitioners.
Written by the renowned immunologist, Dr Peter Kay, this life-saving information course is also beneficial to cancer patients and students who have an interest in biological sciences.
This practical course helps practitioners provide much-needed explanations about the pros and cons of various cancer treatment options.
- The course covers important topics such as pathogenetic, pharmacological, immunopathological, and dietary considerations with respect to cancer development and treatment.
- With over 6 billion building blocks of DNA and more than 22,000 genes that can synthesize more than 100,000 different proteins, mistakes in DNA, which can disrupt proper cellular differentiation and proliferation and result in the formation of cancer cells, become prevalent.
- The course explains how genetic profiles, DNA instability, and internal and external environmental factors can contribute to cancer development.
- The CMA Certification in Integrative Oncology is a unique and valuable course that provides life-saving information about cancer to practitioners, students and patients alike.

- Cancer ranks as the world’s second leading cause of death, with 10 million people dying from it each year.
- Over 40% of cancer-related deaths are preventable as they are caused by modifiable risk factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, and physical inactivity.
- Routine screenings and early detection and treatment can prevent at least a third of all cancer-related deaths.
- Sadly, 70% of cancer deaths occur in poorer countries.
- But there’s hope: millions of lives can be saved each year by implementing cost-effective strategies for prevention and treatment. Many of these approaches include lifestyle modifications, many of which are discussed in this course.
- The annual economic cost of cancer is a staggering US$1.16 trillion.
- This course will be invaluable for you, as a practitioner in developing your work and helping to inform your clients and patients.
