hallmarks of cancer
The 10 hallmarks of cancers are very useful.
I found the part on the hallmarks of cancer particularly interesting - a course that would go into more detail here would be on my wish list for future courses.
Thank you very much, Dr. Kenneth Pienta, for providing such an engaging course throughout 6 weeks, and I enjoyed every content of this course that is well structured especially Ten hallmarks of cancer, TNM staging, cancer imaging, and various types of cancer treatments.
Cancer is part of our curriculum and I found the lesson on hallmarks of cancer interesting.
At least another lesson on the hallmarks of cancer, 5.
this course is easy to understand and involved a lot of useful knowledge to facilitate understanding of the rational of new drug, in which the mechanisms are ofter related to some of the hallmarks of cancer.

dr. pienta
Dr. Pienta and the other Hopkins professionals involved in putting this course together did an excellent job and were engaging throughout.
Dr. Pienta is an excellent teacher.
Well-structured course, Dr. Pienta and his fellow team-members are passionate in what they do, and that's evident during the course, but I can't help to think that they have barely scratched the surface here...
All in all, I don't regret buying and completing the course, but I really hope that Dr. Pienta's team will be back soon with a more challenging and advanced course.
