| Content | The aim of the course is to give students in the life science area a broad overview as well as knowledge in the area of cancer research. The lecturers discuss all aspects of cancer research, ranging from the diagnosis and pathology of cancer to molecular aspects of applied and basic cancer research. The lecture will cover new classes of cancer therapeutics with a particular focus on immuno-therapies and antibody-drug-conjugates. It will further discuss synergies between 'old' as well as 'new' anti-cancer drugs, such as targeted agents and chemotherapeutics, and novel immuno-therapies. Finally it will provide insight into on going clinical as well as basic cancer research and present findings from the lecturers own research. 18.02.2014 1) Introduction, overview and horizon of expectation; Ø Dr. Heinz Läubli (Arzt Onkologie) Pathology and its role within oncological diagnostics and decision-making (e.g. selection of the most effective therapy) (perspective on lecture 2) Ø Dr. Spasenija Savic (Oberärztin Pathologie) 25.02.2014 Fasnachtswoche (Vorlesungsfrei) 04.03.2014 2) Insight into the oncological practice (In reference to lecture 1) Ø Dr. Marcus Vetter (Oberarzt Onkologie) 11.03.2014 3) “Targeted Agents” within the oncological practice; translational aspects and insight into own research.
