Annotation
Last update: Marcela Holanová (12.07.2023)
It is an interdisciplinary cross-curricular subject that summarizes the essential aspects of the molecular biology of malignant tumors and puts them in the context of their clinical behavior, course of the disease and response to treatment. Each topic covers basic biological facts and principles, their specific application in the development of oncological diseases, method of detection, possibilities of use in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
