Description

Cancer remains one of the most complex and challenging diseases of our time. This comprehensive online course, "Basics of Oncology and Cancer Trials: A Complete Guide," is designed to provide a strong foundational understanding of oncology, cancer biology, and the intricacies of  Oncology Clinical trials in cancer research. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a clinical researcher, or someone interested in learning more about oncology, this course will equip you with the essential knowledge to navigate the world of cancer treatment and research.If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer and want to learn more about how it develops and spreads, this course is ideal for you. It is also well-suited for high school or college students studying biology or related subjects who wish to deepen their understanding of cancer. Additionally, this course serves as a valuable introduction to Cancer Biology for medical and PhD students, though some at that level may find the content relatively basic.I am committed to teaching and sharing knowledge about science and medicine.
