Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• The attendants of the course are able to describe the various general mechanisms of tumor initiation and tumor progression and discuss the terms and definitions in the overall context of tumor biology as well as apply them to given examples
• The students are qualified to explain correlations between tumor biology and pathogenic mechanisms in apoptosis, RNA interference and tumor-inducing viruses and bacteria.
• Furthermore, they can assess which concepts for tumor diagnosis and therapy are reasonably applied in the clinic and can evaluate to what extent alternative therapeutic concepts can be used in the correlation to their current limitations.
