If you are unable to attend a session the recording will ensure you can review any content you have missed. \nLearning outcomes\nBy the end of this comprehensive 5 day programme delegates will gain a greater understanding of: \n\nCancer genetics\, how cells work\, the causes of cancer\, how it spreads and how cancer cells evolve\, types and patterns of DNA damage found in cancer cells and their consequences\nTargeted cancer treatments for solid tumours\, antibody-based and small molecule drugs\, their uses and mechanisms of action\, and the rise of antibody-drug-conjugates\nImmunotherapy for solid tumours\, including the relationship between cancer and the immune system\, immune checkpoint inhibitors and the future of immunotherapy for solid tumours\nThe biology and genetics of haematological cancers\, and the consequences of common chromosome translocations and other mutations\, the unique properties of B cell-derived cancers and why they account for >80% of all haematological cancers diagnosed in the UK\nTargeted treatments for leukaemias and lymphomas\, such as FLT3 inhibitors and Bcr-Abl inhibitors\, and immunotherapies including T cell engagers and CAR T cell therapy.\n\nIn closing there is an overview of the results so far\, the lessons learned\, and what the future might look like. \nCourse lead\nDr Elaine Vickers PhD of Science Communicated Ltd\nDr Elaine Vickers\, PhD\, of Science Communicated Ltd\, has worked as a cancer educator for over twenty years. She has previously worked as a science communicator for three of the UK’s leading medical research charities\, including four years in the Science Information team at Cancer Research UK. \nElaine is passionate about demystifying the science behind cancer biology and the latest cancer treatments such as kinase inhibitors\, monoclonal antibodies and immunotherapies. \nShe is experienced in teaching people with any level of scientific or medical knowledge from cancer patients through to medical oncologists translating complex and often overwhelming topics into easily digestible and understandable knowledge\, using colourful illustrations to explain scientific concepts. \nHer book\, A Beginner’s Guide to Targeted Cancer Treatments\, was commended by the British Medical Association. A second edition is due out in 2024. \nAudience\nThis course is ideal for experienced cancer nurses\, clinical trials staff or other professionals involved in the delivery of cancer care who want to update and expand their existing knowledge\, whilst developing deeper confidence when discussing treatment options with colleagues and patients. \nFinancial information\nIf you are employed by Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust\, you can use the coupon code NUTH at the checkout to make a provisional booking and you will need to arrange access to in-house development funding.
