Overview
In order to move forward and develop new cancer detection and treatment methods, we need to understand where we’ve come from and where we are now.
You’ll start this Cancer in the 21st Century - the Genomic Revolution at The University of Glasgow by FutureLearn by learning how cancer develops in cells and the multistep process of cancer before assessing the different subtypes of cancer and how they are currently diagnosed.
Key facts:
- The genome holds a lot of information, some of which can indicate the possibility of cancer developing in a person.
- This course will take you through how genetics can influence cancer, looking at the family pedigree and inherited predispositions to cancer. You’ll also look at cancer causation, from DNA damage and repair to potential environmental factors.
