Course |
This course covers the field from cancer molecular genetics through genetic counselling. It is mainly addressed to geneticists, molecular biologists and physicians involved in oncogenetics. The topics covered will focus on: Genetics and Cancer Susceptibility, Oncogenomics, Mitochondria and cancer, Novel insights in Breast and colon cancer genetics. Participants will have the chance to attend a satellite course on Cancer Genetic Counselling to be held at the end of the main course.
