CANCER BIOLOGY (CBIO)
515. Basic Human Pathology (4) II (Identical with PATH 515, which is home).
550. Drug Disposition and Metabolism (2) II (Identical with PCOL 550, which is home).
551. Molecular Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis (3) I Physical and chemical carcinogenesis. Special emphasis will be upon molecular aspects of the interaction of the carcinogenic agents with mammalian cells and the subsequent mutagenic and metabolic consequences of such interactions. The topics of oncogene activation and tumor suppressor gene inactivation induced by carcinogens during multi-stage carcinogenesis will be emphasized. The molecular biology techniques used in the study of carcinogenesis will also be covered. P, consent of department. (Identical with MBIM 551, RONC 551).

560. Clinical Cancer Biology (1) I II Explores three areas of clinical cancer biology: Cancer Diagnosis and Pathology, Radiation and Surgical Oncology, and Medical Oncology. A practical experience for non-medical students investigating the problems of clinical cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and medical management. One on one interaction of the students with practicing physician specialists in selected areas of oncology. A minimum of sixteen hours of experience will be provided. Enrollment is limited to three students. P, consent of instructor.
