Description
Students undertaking PATH3208 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 modern experimental approaches to important questions in common cancers. This will include coverage of the design, measurement and evaluation of translational cancer studies and clinical trials.
