About the course
Aim
By the end of the course the students will be able to: Knowledge and understanding
- Analyze and discuss specific capabilities of cancer cells and how the biological/genetic alterations occur for normal cell to tumor cell
- Integrate knowledge in tumour biology in different types of malignancies in relation to environmental factors, gender, age, hormonal influence, and molecular alterations
Competence and skills
- Design an experiment in order to analyse how the alterations in cell signalling may interfere with the cellular response to damage
Judgement and approach
- Analyze and assess experimental results in tumour biology
- Evaluate and discuss new hypotheses in the field of cancer research
Content
- Organ specific cancer: different spectra of malignancies in relation to race, gender, age, and molecular biology
- Mechanisms of tumour development, invasion and metastasis
- Concepts in cancer genetics including oncogene, tumour suppressor gene, mismatched repaired genes, and apoptosis related genes
- Control of the cell cycle and cancer
- Angiogenesis and cancer
- Hormones and cancer
- Stem cells and cancer
- Tumour immunology
- The principle of tumour diagnosis and treatment
- Examiner
- Emilia Wiechec
- Main field of study
