Cancer is defined as the uncontrolled growth of cells. The complexity of its causes and the diversity of cell types involved underscore the need for a deeper understanding of cancer’s basic biology. Advances in basic and biomedical research have led to more effective treatments, improved detection methods, and better prevention strategies. This course is organized into two themes: an introduction to fundamental concepts in the cellular and molecular biology of cancer and an introduction to the clinical aspects of oncology. Additionally, the course explores the development and clinical use of therapies based on major discoveries in cancer biology research. <br>
