Tárgyleírás:
Currently, malignancie sare the second most frequent causes of death in Hungary. Several genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors predispose to the development of tumors.The lectures provide up-to-date insights into the (epi)genetics, molecular biology and metabolism of neoplasias. We review potential molecular targets (enzymes, transporters and nucleic acids) and molecular mechanisms of action of conventional and targeted anti-tumor chemotherapeutical drugs. The principal goal of the course is to make students familiar with a molecular way of thinking that might be useful in the understanding of the molecular basis of targeted chemotherapy in particular and in the pathogenesis of human diseases in general.
