Advancements in basic and biomedical research have led to more effective treatments, enhanced detection methods, and better prevention strategies. This course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the biology and pathology of cancer. This course will explore the role of mutations in cancer cells, and how they lead to the dysregulation of essential biological properties like programmed cell death, cell proliferation and differentiation. Classical treatment methods will be compared with newer treatment strategies like targeted therapies. This course will also explore the challenges associated with diagnosing cancers, as well as ways in which to prevent cancer. The ever-expanding role of “omics” and bioinformatics in areas such as tumor classification, prognosis and treatment will also be discussed. |
