Thoracic malignancies are major, global health problems. Lung cancer is the most common cancer and cause of cancer death in the world, with more than 1.5 million deaths per year. More Americans will die from lung cancer each year (approximately 159,480) than from colon, breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer combined (approximately 158,630), the next most common causes of cancer death. Esophageal cancer is the 6th most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and the 4th most common cause in developing nations. This course will provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary introduction to state of the art approaches in the care of patients with thoracic malignancies, including various types of lung cancers and esophageal cancers. Didactic material will cover epidemiology, screening and diagnosis, staging, imaging, radiation therapy, systemic therapy, surgery, psychiatry, and patient support topics. This is an on-demand course with integrated learning units that are focused on specific topics. Each unit contains several video lectures with interactive questions and is followed by a short quiz. Prerequisites: None required although basic medical training in some field related to thoracic oncology would be helpful.

胸腔肿瘤:胸腔恶性肿瘤是主要的全球性健康问题。肺癌是世界上最常见的癌症,也是导致癌症死亡的原因,每年有超过150万人死亡。每年死于肺癌的美国人(约159,480)要比结肠癌,乳腺癌,胰腺癌和前列腺癌的总和(约158,630)多,这是癌症死亡的第二大最常见原因。食道癌是全世界导致癌症死亡的第六大最常见原因,也是发展中国家的第四大最常见原因。 本课程将全面,多学科地介绍胸腔恶性肿瘤(包括各种类型的肺癌和食道癌)患者的护理最新技术水平。教学材料将涵盖流行病学,筛查和诊断,分期,成像,放射治疗,全身治疗,手术,精神病学和患者支持主题。 这是一门按需课程,其中包含针对特定主题的集成学习单元。每个单元都包含几个带有互动问题的视频讲座,然后进行简短的测验。 先决条件:尽管在与胸部肿瘤学有关的某些领域进行基础医学培训会有所帮助,但不需要。
