Stratégies diagnostiques des cancers (FUN)

Seul un diagnostic précis permet de choisir le traitement le plus approprié. Ce cours va vous expliquer pourquoi ce principe général est crucial quand il s'agit des cancers. Les cancers, ou tumeurs malignes, correspondent à des maladies qui présentent des caractéristiques communes, mais aussi de nombreuses différences.

Pour tous ces cancers, survenant chez des patients ayant eux-mêmes des caractéristiques uniques, on dispose actuellement d'un grand nombre de traitements possibles. Avec un diagnostic précis, on sélectionnera le traitement le plus adapté, qu’on appellera "traitement personnalisé".
Caractériser précisément un cancer avant tout traitement est un enjeu majeur qui implique des médecins cliniciens, des spécialistes de l’imagerie radiologique et tissulaire et de la biologie des cancers.
Notre mission est de vous transmettre une vision globale des principales étapes du diagnostic des cancers.

Non-Communicable Diseases in Humanitarian Settings (Coursera)

NCDs are the leading cause of death in almost every region of the world, and place a huge burden on individuals, families and societies. Humanitarian settings have a negative effect on the levels of disease, and the possibility of treatment. The importance of NCDs in global health is acknowledged by their inclusion in the Sustainable Development Goals, which call for a reduction of a third in premature mortality from NCDs by 2030. However, NCDs have until recently received little attention in humanitarian settings, leaving prevention, care and treatment needs largely unaddressed among some of the most vulnerable populations. According to the World Health Organization, 70 percent of global deaths are due to NCDs.
