课程名称：癌症生物学入门 概述：每年在美国有超过50万人，以及全球超过800万人死于癌症。随着人们寿命的延长，癌症的发病率在全球范围内不断上升，预计到2030年，每年将有超过2000万人受到这一疾病的影响。本课程旨在帮助希望了解癌症及其预防、诊断和治疗的人士。 本课程介绍了癌症的分子生物学（癌基因和肿瘤抑制基因）以及癌症的生物学特征。同时，课程还描述了全球主要癌症的风险因素，包括肺癌、 breast癌、结肠癌、前列腺癌、肝癌及胃癌。我们还将解释癌症的分期、利用影像学发现癌症的主要方法，以及主要癌症的治疗方式。 除了核心内容，课程还包括两个荣誉课程，专门讲解肝癌和前列腺癌。 成功完成本课程后，您将能够： - 识别全球主要癌症类型。（讲座1） - 描述基因如何影响癌症的风险和生长。（讲座2） - 列出并描述癌症的十个细胞特征。（讲座3） - 定义转移，并识别转移过程的主要步骤。（讲座4） - 描述影像学在癌症筛查、诊断、分期及治疗中的作用。（讲座5） - 解释癌症的治疗方法。（讲座6） 我们希望这个课程能为您提供癌症生物学和治疗的基本理解。该课程并不旨在为寻求治疗指导的患者提供帮助，但可以帮助您理解癌症发展过程，并为理解癌症的诊断和治疗提供框架。 大纲： 1. 癌症的发生与病因： 介绍癌症生物学的基础知识以及常见癌症类型的发生情况。 2. 癌症的遗传学： 探讨癌症的遗传学、变异和突变、二次打击假说及基因组不稳定性。 3. 癌症的十个细胞特征： 学习识别癌症的十个特征，以区分正常细胞与癌细胞。 4. 转移：真正的杀手： 深入探讨转移这一致命事件、TNM分期以及生态范式。 5. 肿瘤学中的影像学： 研究影像学作为癌症诊断、分期和治疗的工具。 6. 治疗： 评估医生和患者可用的多种治疗选项，以及临床试验的特点及其如何改善治疗手段。
Name:Incidence and Etiology of Cancer
Description:In this first week, we'll get a high-level introduction to the basics of cancer biology as well as incidence and common types of cancer.
Name:Genetics of Cancer
Description:Now, we'll turn our attention to the genetics of cancer, variation and mutation, two-hit hypothesis, and genomic instability.
Name:Ten Cellular Hallmarks of Cancer
Description:All cancers share ten cellular hallmarks. This week, you'll learn to identify these hallmarks in order to distinguish a normal cell from a cancerous cell.
Name:Metastasis: The Real Killer
Description:The lethal agent of cancer is metastasis. This week, we'll take a good look at this deadly event, TNM staging, the metastatic process, and an ecological paradigm.
Name:Imaging in Oncology
Description:This week, we'll examine imaging as a tool for diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer.
Name:Treatment
Description:In this final week, we'll examine the variety of treatment options available to doctors and patients as well as the features of clinical trials and how they are used to improve the treatment arsenal.
Over 500,000 people in the United States and over 8 million people worldwide are dying every year from cancer. As people live longer, the incidence of cancer is rising worldwide and the disease is expected to strike over 20 million people annually by 2030. This open course is designed for people who would like to develop an understanding of cancer and how it is prevented, diagnosed, and treated. The course introduces the molecular biology of cancer (oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes) as well as the biologic hallmarks of cancer. The course also describes the risk factors for the major cancers worldwide, including lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer, and stomach cancer. We explain how cancer is staged, the major ways cancer is found by imaging, and how the major cancers are treated. In addition to the core materials, this course includes two Honors lessons devoted to cancers of the liver and prostate. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: - Identify the major types of cancer worldwide. (Lecture 1) - Describe how genes contribute to the risk and growth of cancer. (Lecture 2) - List and describe the ten cellular hallmarks of cancer. (Lecture 3) - Define metastasis, and identify the major steps in the metastatic process. (Lecture 4) - Describe the role of imaging in the screening, diagnosis, staging, and treatments of cancer. (Lecture 5) - Explain how cancer is treated. (Lecture 6) We hope that this course gives you a basic understanding of cancer biology and treatment. The course is not designed for patients seeking treatment guidance – but it can help you understand how cancer develops and provides a framework for understanding cancer diagnosis and treatment.
