BIO 529 Advanced Cancer Biology
Cancer is a broad class of diseases which play a significant role in human health. These diseases arise through multi-step process driven by genetic, epigenetic, metabolic and environmental changes that occur over time. This course delves into the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. We also examine the implications of these processes on cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment and learn to interpret clinical data to determine the effectiveness and appropriateness of various modalities. This is a link course with BIO 419. No credit given for students with credit for BIO 419.
