Form of study
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of the courses "Medical Biology", "Histology, Cytology and Embryology", "Biological and Bioorganic Chemistry", "Pathomorphology", as well as familiarization with selected sections of human physiology and pharmacology. 2. Knowledge of the theoretical foundations of chemistry, physics, molecular biology, cell biology, etc.; ability to use theoretical knowledge from these disciplines to solve practical problems. 3.

Course content
The subject of study of the discipline “Oncogenetics” is the genetic basis of predisposition to cancer diseases, molecular genetic mechanisms of initiation and progression of tumors. General ideas about oncological diseases, causes and mechanisms of cell transformation as a result of the action of chemical, physical and biological carcinogens, the role of genotype in carcinogenesis are considered. Attention is paid to molecular genetic processes that are disrupted at different stages of cell malignancy, genetic control of angiogenesis and metastasis. Issues of prevention and treatment of cancer diseases and determination of individual risk of tumor formation are discussed.
