Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the Integrated Course, students will be familiar with:
A) The pathophysiological mechanisms of the major cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, nephrological, hematological and oncological diseases;
B) The main symptoms and signs of these diseases;
C) The diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to follow (protocols, guidelines);
D) The principles of nursing care for patients with these diseases, considering any other comorbidities;

Prerequisites

Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the organs and systems studied (cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, urinary, hematopoietic) and of the biological mechanisms underlying the development of cancer..

Invasiveness. Metastasis. TNM. Tumor Immunology: Immunoediting theory. Oncological therapies: chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy.
