Courses

A five day course covering the biology, science and mechanisms behind the diverse range of targeted drug treatments and new immunotherapies for cancer with an overview of how they work – focusing on the science behind them – and giving descriptions of which treatments are relevant to each of the most common solid tumours and haematological cancers.

The fundamental idea of precision medicine is to offer each cancer patient a treatment approach that is tailored to the unique biology and genetics of their disease. This two session course provides an understanding of the concepts that underlie precision cancer medicine and both its promise and limitations.
