Course Objective

The aim of this course is to understand the morphologic and biologic differences of normal and cancer cell and to learn precancereous lesions, invasion and metastasis. The morphologic differences of carcinomas, sarcomas, hematologic cancers, and the relationship of cancer with stroma, inflammation, differentiation is planned to be tought.
