Description

This module focuses on the mechanism of cancer generation and progression and on the range of treatment options. Starting with a background integrating genetic, cellular, and molecular aspects, it covers recent cancer research leading to a general conceptual framework for the development of this disease. The module also provides insights and illustrations from specific cancer types and concludes with a variety of established and emerging treatments. The overall aim of this module is to provide a strong background for careers related to basic cancer research, experimental medicine, and drug discovery.
