Overview
General tumour theory and tumour classification followed by cellular and molecular mechanisms important for the origin and growth of tumours will be discussed. The course covers e.g. epigenetic mechanisms for cancer, carcinogenesis, genomic instability, angiogenesis, tumour virus, oncogenes, growth factors, signal transduction, tumour suppressor genes and clinical oncology. The body's immune defence against cancer will also be discussed, as well as hereditary cancer. Current clinical diagnostics and treatment of cancer will be covered as well as methods and technologies used. Practical parts can consist of an epigenetic analysis of DNA methylation at gene promoters in cancer cells. Also, web-based material will be used. Seminars together with researchers will give the students the opportunity to discuss current problems within cancer research.
