Clinical oncology and radiotherapy
A.A. 2020/2021
Obiettivi formativi
The course id designed with a multidisciplinary approach integrating clinical concology,chemotherapy, radiotherapy and psychology to address clical approach to oncologic patients.
During the course students will
-acquire the clinical "vocabulary" of clinical oncology, in order for students, whether as future general practioners or as non-cancer specialists, to be able to discuss cancer clinical cases with an oncology team on a multidisciplinary basis and/or to be proactive in counseling patients on treatment options in collaboration with an oncology team;
- to advise patients on their lifestyles supporting behavioral change motivation, and early diagnosis choices, to properly refer patients when suspected or diagnosed with cancer or cancer risk, to share patient follow-up and surveillance with cancer institutions;
- to be able to appreciate and start managing cancer-related emergencies and to share management of patients major complications from cancer and/or cancer treatment.
- to acquire knowledge on the role of Molecular Pathology in oncology, spanning from implication of cancer molecular and morphological heterogeneity in acquired resistance to targeted therapies, to precision medicine, liquid biopsy, and basic principles of cancer genomics including an overview of the latest techniques and experimental models used in Pathology Divisions.
- to acquire knowledge on the role of radiotherapy (RT) in the management of cancer: biological basis of RT, indications, combination with other cancer therapies (multimodality approach, multidisciplinary treatment), basic technical issues (modern high-precision RT: intensity modulated RT IMRT, image-guided RT IGRT, stereotactic RT SRT, intraoperative RT IORT, brachytherapy etc.), fractionation, dose and volume concept, acute and late toxicity, management of RT-induced toxicity, tumor response evaluation, role of RT in 4 big killers (lung, prostate, breast, colon-rectum). Imaging in oncology and in particular in radiation oncology.

Edizione unica
Responsabile
Lectures will still take place in classreoom; if the students can't reach the building we might consider alternative ways.
Prerequisiti
To take the Clinical Oncology and Radiotherapy exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes 1 and 2, Human Body, Functions and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
The examination is based on a multiple-choice test (56 questions, each one with only one correct answer). Test duration: 90 minutes. Each correct answer corresponds to 0.55 points (no penalties will be given to missing or wrong answers). The final mark is the sum of the points obtained in each question.
The exam is deemed to be passed successfully if the final grade is equal to or higher than 18/30. If the number of correct questions exceeds 54, honors (lode) is granted.
Registration to the exam through SIFA is mandatory.
