The course will be delivered by medical oncologists who will share their knowledge and clinical experience. The first lectures will be devoted to basic terms, the hallmarks of cancer and cancer pathology, as well as cancer imaging. Next, we will cover the area of clinical trials: design, terminology, ethical aspects and evaluation of the results. The majority of lectures will be devoted to individual types of cancer, such as brain tumors and breast cancer. Each lecturer will provide the main disease facts such as histological and molecular subtypes, epidemiology and diagnosis. In addition, each presentation will address the current treatments and the burning open questions of relevant research.
