Mastering biotechnologies and therapeutic innovations

New

Level 1 -

Fundamentals of Oncology

Presentation

Why participate?
Present the characteristics of tumor cells and the causes of therapeutic failure. Offer solutions through innovative therapies

Training context
Cancer accounts for a significant share of global mortality, with multiple and complex causes that traditional therapeutic approaches alone cannot fully address. It is essential to understand the reasons behind these failures in order to envision tomorrow’s innovative therapies.

Learning objectives

  • Understand the basics of cancer: Definitions, classifications, and risk factors
  • Identify the characteristics of tumor cells: Properties and development mechanisms
  • Learn about the main tumor treatments: Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy
  • Analyze therapeutic failures: Causes of recurrence, pharmacokinetics, tumor heterogeneity
  • Explore innovative therapies and preclinical models: CAR-T cells, gene therapy, vaccines, oncolytic viruses, in vitro and in vivo models
