What you’ll learn

  • Explain the risk factors for cancer
  • Describe the underlying causes for cancer
  • Discuss various treatment approaches for cancer
  • Apply knowledge to dealing with a loved one with cancer or in coursework related to cancer

If you or a loved one has cancer and want to understand more about how cancer starts and spreads, then this course is for you. This course is also for you if you are a high school or college student taking biology or a related topic and want to learn more about cancer. This course is also a useful introduction to cancer biology for medical students and PhD students, although it might be considered a bit basic by some students at that level. 

The message of this course is that huge progress has been made in understanding cancer. Most people now survive cancer whereas just a few years ago they did not. We’ll talk about how cancer starts and spreads. We’ll also talk about cancer staging and various types of cancer treatment as well as what to expect in the future.

    This course was VERY basic but that was pretty much what I was looking for. It was very good for learning the vocabulary around cancer. For example the difference between a sarcoma and a carcinoma, and how the stages differ. I would have appreciated more detail especially in regards to chemo and radiation, how they work and what the side effects are etc.

    Narration is monotonous and presentation a bit boring, could have had more elements to understand easily, graphics are not the most illustrative, many abbreviations that are not explained
