Medical oncology and blood diseases
(objectives)
The essential objectives of the integrated course of "MEDICAL ONCOLOGY AND BLOOD DISEASES" are knowledge of the predisposing conditions and clinical characteristics of the solid and haematological neoplastic disorders, as well as, the prognostic and predictive factors of response according to the specific characteristics of both neoplasm and patient, as such as, the understanding of the haematolymphopoietic system and the pathophysiological alterations related to it. The aim of the integrated course will also be to learn the principles of primary, secondary prevention and chemo-prevention in the field of solid and haematological tumors. Emphasis will be placed on the role of tumor markers and molecules that can help to well define the diagnostic assessment. It is also required to learn the main laboratory analysis systems, cell isolation and molecular biology methods, biological sample preservation techniques and the application of biotechnology in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of the hematological patient. Students will have to possess the notions and principles relating to Diagnostic Imaging (including interventional radiology) to integrate the knowledge of the professional profile with those relating to diagnostic imaging technologies. These objectives will be achieved through lectures aimed at improving students’ learning capabilities in order to achieve useful skills for collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. These objectives will be verified through intermediate and final evaluation tests.
