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.
