COURSE OBJECTIVES (in order of importance)1. Knowledge of the complexity of cancer diseases.
2. Understanding some of the new developments in molecular oncologyand medical genetics.
3. History and physical exam skills relevant to oncology. Interpretationof CT scans, MRIs, and mammography. Learning to apply T.N.M.staging.
4. Learn to analyze available data in order to plan an appropriatetreatment for oncology patients.
5. Involvement in the surgical care of cancer patients by participating inmultiple operative procedures, including abdominal surgery, breastsurgery, endocrine surgery, and soft tissue surgery.
6. Knowledge of the more commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs.
7. Knowledge of the performance of research in the oncology field,particularly in the evaluation of current oncology practice.
8. To appreciate and understand the doctor/patient relationshipestablished between the doctor and the oncology patient.
DESCRIPTION: Our interest in organizing this course is based on the current multimodality approach to cancer patients. Recentadvances in medical genetics, chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy have changed the practice of oncology. It is essentialnow to have a broad view and comprehensive approach to the field of oncology and to oncology patients. It is in this light that wewould like to offer a course where patients are seen as part of a multidisciplinary approach. Students will be exposed to patient careand discussions about a multidisciplinary approach to oncology. Also, evaluation of the current practice of oncology byparticipation in ongoing research protocols is encouraged.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AND OTHER SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: This clerkship provides an outstanding opportunity for theinterested student to evaluate and manage a wide variety of head and neck disorders. The county population served by OVH-UCLA Medical Center manifestsboth common disease (ear, sinus infections, t onsillitis) and unusual tumors (parotid neoplasms, cancer of the aerodigestive tract, congenital anomalies).There are only 2 head and neck residents assigned to this hospital so there is ample opportunity for students to participate actively in both the clinic and theO.R. This course will be useful for students interested in pursuing both.
