General Objective

• The main goal of this training in Tumors of the genito-urinary ract is that the professional knows the basic principles related to oncology, addressing the tumors that most affect women today, as well as the most cutting-edge treatments and advances

Specific Objectives

• Recognize the characteristics of malignant neoplasms, their classification according a their histogenesis, as well as aspects related to their biological behavior
• Acquire up-to-date knowledge on cancer epidemiological data worldwide
• Learn about screening methods in at-risk populations to diagnose cancerous lesions early
• Recognize the environmental and occupational factors (mutagenic agents) that are directly and indirectly involved in cancer, and the carcinogenic capacity of some toxic substances found in food
• Relate DNA AND RNA viruses known to cause cancer in humans
• Expose the mechanisms by which viruses are able to subjugate the normal activity of host cytoplasmic proteins, affecting key points in the control of the cell cycle, cell growth and differentiation, causing severe alterations in cell growth and cancer development
• Recognize the role of H. pylori bacteria in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer
• Understand cancer as a genetic disease resulting from mutations that accumulate in genes that are critical for the growth and development of somatic cells
• Describe the genes associated with cancer, and the importance of DNA analysis to identify individuals, detect predisposing gene polymorphisms, analyze mutations, and establish the diagnosis of cancer as a genetic disease
• Recognize the susceptibility genes involved in breast, lung, thyroid, colon, skin, bone, pancreatic, and neuroblastoma cancers, and by what mechanism they participate in tumorigenesis
• Know the symptoms and signs that are most frequently related to cancer, as well as the different systems for the staging of tumor disease and their importance
• Know the phases of the cell cycle, the critical control points, as well as the genes involved in its regulation
• Recognize the important role of cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair systems in maintaining the fidelity and integrity of genome replication and repair, and regulating cell cycle dynamics
• Explain the positive and negative feedback regulatory processes that contribute to cell cycle progression, and the significance of negative controls on cell cycle progression that are present during development, differentiation, senescence, and cell death, which play an
• important role in preventing tumorigenesis
• Identify the difference in gene expression between normal tissue and tumor tissue
• Know the stages involved in the transformation of a normal cell to a malignant cell
• Recognize the malignant phenotype as the result of a characteristic pattern of gene expression, alterations in the function of the human genome, which cause erratic growth, dedifferentiation, invasion, and metastasis
•  Characterize the different genes involved in cell cycle regulation (growth-promoting genes, growth-inhibiting genes, genes that regulate apoptosis and genes that repair damaged DNA), and the mutations that alter them
• Explain the key role that oncogenes may play in the development of cancer by directing mechanisms that lead to the development of neoplasms
• Know tumor suppressor genes as cytoplasmic components capable of reversing the tumor phenotype; proteins that control the cell cycle, proliferation, and differentiation
• Identify epigenetic aberrations (DNA methylation with silencing of gene expression, and histone modifications that can enhance or dampen expression), which contribute to the malignant properties of cells
• Recognize the role of epigenetic changes in malignant phenotype, including gene expression, control of differentiation, and sensitivity and resistance to anticancer therapy
• Know the genes and proteins associated with malignant diseases and their utility as tumor markers to define a particular entity, its diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and screening in the population
• Know and apply the different technologies used to analyze the gene expression profile of neoplasms to identify clinical and biological aspects that are difficult to determine by histopathological examination. Its principles, advantages, and disadvantages
