Pathology: The cellular and molecular bases of the carcinogenic process (carcinogens, classification, action, DNA mutations, oncogenes); the components of the tumor microenvironment and of the tumor infiltrate; the growth factors and receptors in major tumors and their microenvironment; the molecular bases of targeted therapy and immunotherapy

Diagnostics and Radiation Oncology: The Imaging technique of choice for detection of the most common solid tumors in the central nervous system, thorax, and abdomen: the rationale. The staging of the most common solid tumor as above: the key point of diagnostic imaging. Strength, and weakness of cross sectional imaging techniques. How to properly assess actual tumor spread in the view of optimal treatment planning. Imaging follow up, and patient tailored therapy.

Oncology: The basic knowledge of Oncology: the terminology, the diagnostic criteria and treatment guidelines of the main neoplastic diseases, the staging principles of pharmacology of antineoplastic agents.

Hematology: The clinical approach to the ambulatory patient presenting with hemorrhagic or thrombotic symptoms. The management of the outpatient anticoagulation clinics. The Laboratory diagnosis of coagulation disorders. The apheretic therapies, the blood transfusion, the phlebotomy and the plasma exchange treatments. The mechanism of regulation of the normal hematopoiesis, the biology of hematopoietic growth factors. The morphology and immunology of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The morphology of mature peripheral blood cells. The molecular genetics, the biological characteristics, the classification and the clinical findings of the onco-hematological diseases.
