The Pathobiology of Cancer Workshop provides an intense one-week course on the molecular and morphologic aspects of human cancer for scientists working in basic cancer research. Participants attend small group laboratory sessions taught by pathologists and study the light microscopic and gross morphologic examples of major types of adult and childhood cancers. Correlations are made with known genetic alterations in specific types of human cancer and with animal models, particularly transgenic and gene deletion mouse models. Group discussions and a series of evening lectures focus on the molecular mechanisms of cancer development and progression to invasion and metastasis. This overview of cancer biology, pathology, and related disciplines enables participants to return to their laboratories and pursue investigations that will contribute to our understanding of the etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human cancer.
