Research and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic metodologies
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The aims of this course will be to provide an up-date knowledge of technical, novel, emerging basic and translational aspects in the diagnosis and therapeutic approaches in cancer.
In particular, the course will be focused on the available methodologies involving mouse models, organoids, NGS applications the emerging role of non coding RNAs as therapeutic platforms in the context of tumor heterogeneity, the role of tumour molecular profiling in precision oncology, the advance of minimal residual disease approaches in the management of patients in the era of new drugs, and the physical bases and potential applications of the most important imaging techniques for non-invasive tumour biological characterization and its supporting role for tumour treatment and radiotherapeutic approaches.
