The 83rd International Conference on Ayurveda and Cancer Care will bring together healthcare professionals, researchers, therapists and wellness practitioners to discuss Ayurveda and other supportive approaches in integrative oncology.
Organised by Global Ayurveda Conferences, LLC, and hosted by the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America (AAPNA), the three-day conference will focus on a holistic, patient-centred approach to cancer care. The programme is intended for professionals and practitioners interested in exploring the role of Ayurveda and complementary approaches alongside contemporary healthcare practices.
Ayurveda and Integrative Cancer Care: A Conference
The conference will address a range of topics related to Ayurveda, lifestyle and supportive approaches to cancer care. According to the organisers, the key areas for discussion include:
- Integrative oncology.
- Diet and nutrition.
- Lifestyle and yoga therapies.
- Panchakarma and detoxification.
- Meditation and relaxation techniques.
- Psychological support and trauma care.
- Body-based therapies.
- Complementary medical systems.
- Mind–body techniques.
- Movement therapies.
- Sound and subtle therapies.
The programme aims to provide participants with opportunities to learn about different perspectives on integrative oncology and discuss approaches that may support holistic health and wellbeing.
The conference reflects growing interest in discussions about integrative healthcare, where traditional health systems and contemporary approaches are considered within a broader patient-care context. However, the conference announcement does not establish that Ayurvedic or complementary approaches can cure or prevent cancer.
Healthcare Professionals, Researchers and Wellness Practitioners Expected to Attend
The conference is expected to attract healthcare professionals, researchers, therapists and wellness practitioners. It aims to provide opportunities for participants to share knowledge, explore different approaches to integrative care and connect with others working in Ayurveda and related fields.
The organisers have announced several participation options, including:
- In-person attendance.
- Online participation via Zoom.
- Speaker registration.
- Sponsorship opportunities.
- Exhibition opportunities.
Separate arrangements have also been announced for accommodation and food.
Organisers Explain How to Participate
The conference is organised by Global Ayurveda Conferences, LLC, and hosted by the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America (AAPNA).
According to the event announcement, Dr Shekhar Annambhotla is the contact person for further information.
Interested participants can register through the channels provided by the organisers. Separate participation options have been announced for in-person and online attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors.
Conference Dates and Venue Require Confirmation
An announcement on Dr Shekhar Annambhotla’s LinkedIn page states that the event is scheduled for 23–25 October 2026 at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam.
However, another public post on his profile lists the 83rd International Conference on Ayurveda and Cancer Care for 21–23 October 2026 in Pennsylvania. A subsequent post identifies the Coopersburg Senior Center, 538 Thomas Street, Coopersburg, Pennsylvania, as the location.
These announcements contain conflicting information about the dates and venue. Prospective participants should therefore confirm the final schedule and location directly with the organisers before making travel or registration arrangements.
Registration and Further Information
The organisers have announced separate registration options for in-person attendees and Zoom participants, alongside opportunities for speakers, sponsors and exhibitors.

Conclusion
The 83rd International Conference on Ayurveda and Cancer Care aims to provide a platform for discussion and knowledge-sharing on Ayurveda, integrative oncology and supportive approaches to cancer care.
With topics spanning nutrition, yoga, psychological support and complementary therapies, the conference is intended to engage professionals and practitioners interested in broader approaches to patient wellbeing. However, attendees should distinguish discussions about supportive care from evidence establishing the safety or effectiveness of individual treatments.
Interested participants are advised to obtain confirmation from the organisers regarding the event dates, venue, registration process and programme before making arrangements.
