Course content
|
Students will gain a basic overview of the diagnosis and complex treatment of malignant tumours. The course focuses not only on radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted biological therapy, but also on supportive and symptomatic treatment. Special attention is also paid to prevention and screening programmes. Students will gain an overview of the trends in the development of oncological treatment of individual cancers and learn about the psychological and ethical aspects of cancer care. The seminars will focus specifically on the topics for the state exam to facilitate students' preparation for this exam. Since oncology is a rapidly developing field that is not only a medical but also a society-wide issue, this course will certainly be a preparation for medical practice as well.
