Course Description

This course is designed to help students to develop the understanding of the key concepts of carcinogenesis, carcinogenic agents and clinical effects of neoplasia. These will be delivered in 3 topics which are: (1) Carcinogenesis : Introduction and Key concepts (2) Carcinogenic Agents (3) Clinical Effects of Neoplasia. The topics will be presented in lectures, followed by fun activities for the students to enhance their understanding. Each topic will be supplemented with quizzes and lastly, there is a final assessment to strengthen the students’ understanding of all topics. It is self-paced so that students can manage their own learning time.
