Cancer Bioenergetics
Douglass H. Thamm, VMD, DACVIM (Oncology)
ON DEMAND
This session will cover the historical and modern concepts of glucose utilization and energy generation in cancer, how it may affect tumor cell behavior, and strategies for intervention.
Cancer Stem Cells
Professor David Argyle, PhD and Lisa Pang, PhD
ON DEMAND
This module reviews the biology of CSCs and provides insights into CSC plasticity, interaction with the niche, tumor repopulation and clinical implications of therapeutic response.
Canine Cancer Precision Medicine
William Hendricks, PhD
ON DEMAND
Here we'll review cancer's genetic basis across species, summarize history and recent developments in naturally occurring canine cancer genomics and discuss implications for development of new clinical tools in veterinary oncology.
Cell Signaling and Signal Transduction Inhibitors
Cheryl London, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (Oncology)
ON DEMAND
The objective of this module is to provide an overview of signal transduction in both normal and neoplastic cells.
Discovery and Evaluation of Anticancer Drugs
David Lowery, PhD
ON DEMAND
This module gives a high-level view of the history of anticancer drugs, a general idea of the current drug discovery process for both small and large molecule drugs.
Epigenetics of Cancer
Jeffrey Bryan, DVM, MS, Phd, DACVIM (Oncology)
ON DEMAND
This module describes the common, currently understood epigenetic mechanisms of mammalian cells that contribute to carcinogenesis.
Genomic Instability
Kelly R. Hume, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)
ON DEMAND
This course reviews the causes and consequences of genomic instability, including manifestations in DNA and chromosomes.
Invasion and Metastasis
Robert B. Rebhun, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (Oncology)
ON DEMAND
This lecture is intended to provide a basic overview of tumor invasion and metastasis.
Pharmacology of Cancer Drugs and Resistance
Luke Wittenburg, DVM, PhD, DACVCP
ON DEMAND
In this course we discuss the early findings with regard to the kinetics of tumor cell death that lead to current approaches to the treatment of cancer.
Tumor Micro- environment
Jamie Modiano, VMD, PhD
ON DEMAND
This lecture will describe the tumor microenvironment, beginning with the mechanisms that lead to the creation of a tumor niche and continuing through the steps that allow it to evolve to favor tumor growth and dissemination.
Building the Immune Environment of Cancer
Jamie Modiano, VMD, PhD
ON DEMAND
This lecture will describe the formation, remodeling, maintenance, and function of the immune landscape of cancer.
Principles of Cancer Immunotherapy
Jamie Modiano, VMD, PhD
ON DEMAND
Immunotherapy is now recognized as the “fourth pillar” of cancer therapy. As immunological approaches are translated into the clinic for human and veterinary cancer patients, it is essential for oncologists to have a thorough understanding of immunophysiology and immunopathology.
