Stratégies diagnostiques des cancers (FUN)

Stratégies diagnostiques des cancers (FUN)

Seul un diagnostic précis permet de choisir le traitement le plus approprié. Ce cours va vous expliquer pourquoi ce principe général est crucial quand il s'agit des cancers. Les cancers, ou tumeurs malignes, correspondent à des maladies qui présentent des caractéristiques communes, mais aussi de nombreuses différences.

Pour tous ces cancers, survenant chez des patients ayant eux-mêmes des caractéristiques uniques, on dispose actuellement d'un grand nombre de traitements possibles. Avec un diagnostic précis, on sélectionnera le traitement le plus adapté, qu’on appellera "traitement personnalisé".
Caractériser précisément un cancer avant tout traitement est un enjeu majeur qui implique des médecins cliniciens, des spécialistes de l’imagerie radiologique et tissulaire et de la biologie des cancers.
Notre mission est de vous transmettre une vision globale des principales étapes du diagnostic des cancers.

Plan du cours

Ce MOOC se déroulera sur 6 semaines :
Semaine 1 : Des symptômes du patient au prélèvement de la tumeur
Semaine 2 : Le prélèvement tumoral, son analyse macroscopique et microscopique
Semaine 3 : L’analyse moléculaire du prélèvement tumoral et l’identification de potentielles cibles thérapeutiques
Semaine 4 : Le bilan d’extension du cancer, la réunion de concertation pluridisciplinaire et l’annonce du diagnostic
Semaine 5 : Exemples concrets de cancer du sein, cancer de l'enfant, cancer du système lymphoïde et cancer du colon
Semaine 6 : Exemples concrets de cancer du poumon, cancer du sang, cancer de la peau et cancer de la prostate.
Les enseignants de ces différentes semaines sont listés ci-dessous, par code couleur de semaine.

However, as their oncology health care provider, you have a critical role in starting conversations about schooling. Even for your youngest patients, it is important to talk with parents and caregivers about schooling issues early and often.
