Annotation
In Haematology and Oncology course students learn basics of epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, staging and therapy of both solid tumours and hematological malignancies as well as non-malignant hematological disorders. Theoretical introduction in form of lectures, that provides an overview of crucial topics in the subject, are followed by seminars that provide more detailed insight into respective diseases, their taxonomy, special pathology, diagnostics, clinical course and treatment. During the seminars on non-malignant hematology students learn basics of hematology laboratory practice, both morphology and coagulation part, with laboratory results inerpretation and basics of rational hemotherapy (transfusiology). At the practical lectures students are examining patients with particular malignant diseases. Haematooncological part of practical lectures are focused on case studies with differential diagnosis and treatment. The access to patients with haematological malignancies is limited because of deep immunosupression in most of them, but whenever it is possible, patients with clear signs of haematological disease, especially with lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly, are demonstrated to the students. In the oncological and haematooncological part of the course students learn basics of therapy of tumorous diseases according to the evidence based medicine, innovation in biological therapy and basics of modern supportive and paliative care.
Preventive care and early diagnosis principals of both malignant and non- malignant haematologic diseases will be also mentioned.
