Breast Cancer: Scientific but Forgotten Therapies is an in-depth online CPD course designed to explore lesser-known scientific approaches, historical treatments, and emerging perspectives in breast cancer research and care. The course examines alternative and complementary therapies that have shown scientific interest but are often overlooked in mainstream discussion, offering learners a broader understanding of breast cancer treatment pathways.

Learners will explore the biological foundations of breast cancer, historical medical research, non-conventional therapeutic approaches, nutritional and lifestyle-based interventions, and the role of integrative care in supporting wellbeing. The course also addresses ethical considerations, evidence evaluation, and how to critically assess scientific claims surrounding forgotten or underrepresented therapies.

This course is ideal for those seeking to expand their knowledge beyond standard treatment models, develop analytical skills in evaluating medical research, and understand how complementary approaches may support overall cancer care strategies. Delivered fully online, it allows learners to study at their own pace while gaining valuable insight into breast cancer science, research history, and evolving therapeutic discussions.

Whether for professional development, academic interest, or personal understanding, this course provides a structured, evidence-informed overview that enhances knowledge, critical thinking, and awareness of breast cancer therapies within a broader scientific context.
