HESC3208 Cancer Sciences for Exercise Physiology is focussed on the assessment, design and delivery of exercise programs for cancer patients. For those wishing to pursue a career in exercise physiology in the oncology field, the course will emphasise cancer diagnosis, treatment and the application of exercise to improve the management of the disease. Students undertaking HESC3208 will gain a basic knowledge of cancer biology, including aetiology and risk factors. They will also learn the scientific rationale underpinning current and future practices in cancer management (diagnosis and treatment), and the concept of ‘individualised’ cancer medicine. At the same time, students will develop an understanding of the role exercise can play throughout the cancer journey, including pre-habilitation, during treatment, rehabilitation and during the palliative stage. This will include coverage of patient consultations and the design and delivery of exercise for cancer patients.
