Course/Module description:
The course is designed to allow students to participate and experience the practice of precision medicine in Oncology
Course/Module aims:
• Understand the principles of precision oncology
• Understand current challenges in prevention, early detection and therapy for cancer, based on genomic-molecular profiling .
• Take part in real-life scenarios across the treatment sequences; from genetic alterations detection to choosing the optimal oncological approach.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
• Basic understanding of genomic-molecular alterations in cancer and their implication on cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up
• Basic molecular detection tools
• Basic approaches for treatment selection
