Needs Assessment
________________________________________________________________________________
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. New technologies such as nanotechnology present us with new ways of treating patients that were unimaginable only a few years ago. However, there needs to be an understanding of the problems clinicians and patients face and the potential solutions scientists can develop to improve the efficacy of diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
We have designed a webinar series as an introduction for the clinical and research community as well as industry professionals to identify the various applications of nanotechnology and how they help address these problems. Translational progress on each research topic will also be included.
Objectives
________________________________________________________________________________
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Develop new knowledge on nanomedicine, the materials used and the significance of using nanotechnologies for medical applications
- Review and distinguish various applications utilizing nanotechnologies
- Interpret and describe the latest research findings on cancer
- Differentiate nanomedicine applications and translational opportunities in oncology
- Extrapolate nanomedicine’s impact on other diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and others
- Discover new sources of information on cancer nanotechnology
Webinar Description and Target Audience
