pathophysiologic basis for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic diseases and benign hematologic disorders. Primary emphasis<br />
will be placed upon the broad area of medical management. Recent advances in molecular genetics, clinical pharmacology, epidemiology,<br />
and supportive care will be stressed. Teaching will be primarily through lectures, panels and case discussions with the assistance<br />
of appropriate visual aids. Multiple opportunities for interaction between the members of the faculty and the audience will be<br />
made available. A comprehensive syllabus will be provided. Participants will be invited to present challenging cases to a faculty<br />
panel in a special Wednesday evening session.<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
At the conclusion of this course, the participant will be able to:<br />
• appreciate the use of molecular genetics as a means of defining families at high risk for the development of cancer.<br />
• understand recent advances in the management of benign hematologic disorders.<br />
• choose among multidisciplinary management options in breast, head and neck, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal cancers.<br />
