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.
