Hot Topics in Cancer Epidemiology

EPI 257 Subject & Catalog Number

Description

This course is an advanced seminar in current cancer research. The goal of this course is to present an integrated view of current issues central to cancer epidemiology. We will build on knowledge gained in other courses and cover emerging topics relevant to cancer epidemiology, including new technology, screening and early detection approaches, and cancer sites not typically discussed in other courses. The course will take a global perspective on cancer epidemiology and will emphasize the integration of knowledge from other courses. The course is intended for graduate students who have a research focus in, or a strong interest in, cancer epidemiology and cancer prevention. Class sessions are expected to be participatory discussions about the status and future directions for research in the selected areas.
Previous enrollment in EPI213 Cancer Epidemiology is recommended.
