Aims

The main goal of the course is to explore the close relationship between cancer and the endocrine system. The student will be able to understand how genetic traits regulating the activity of endocrine organs as well as the exposure to environmental factors interfering with the hormonal balance can influence the risk of cancer.

Moreover, an insight on the effect of cancer therapies on hormonal homeostasis, associated with development of endocrinological disease, will be provided.
