Course Outcomes:
The students will be able to
- Understand the pathology and metabolism of cancers and their reporting systems.
- Recall the molecular pathways and relate them in cancer development, progression, detection and therapy.
- Identify the potential molecular and cellular targets for diagnosis and therapy
- Evaluate the technologies available for early diagnosis-prevention, targeted therapy and for effective management of post therapy – palliative care
- Analyze the challenges in the present cancer management methods
- Apply the knowledge and discuss new means of cancer management, prevention strategies and modes of palliative care to prolong the life of cancer cases.
