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