Cancers are multifactorial diseases with genetics and environment when synchronized could lead to its formation and could cause health complications. Though known for ages, cancer continues to evade complete cure in many cases due to the diverse nature in clinical progression, delay in diagnosis and lack of efficient diagnostic methods being few of the reasons. These are of critical relevance to cancer researchers, policy makers and the general public due to the economic and social implications. This course explains the common human cancers that are important in United States of America in both sexes and by age groups. The course will lay foundation stone for understanding advanced level courses,
Hallmarks of cancer cells and common terminologies explained for beginner to understand and who will take advanced courses in cancer biology later.
The lectures are hallmarks of cancer cells, cancer cell mutations, genes in control of cell division, cancer cell described (terminology), common cancer types and unique information including genetic testing and risk factors based on age groups.

Dr. Biju Joseph obtained his Ph.D. in Cancer Biology. His thesis resulted in development of DNA diagnostic methods for retinoblastoma in South-East Asia. Retinoblastoma is a pediatric eye cancer affecting children less than 5 years of age and late detection results in significant morbidity.
Apart from the thesis related publications, he co-authored diabetic retinopathy, consanguinity and ocular disorders, retinitis pigmentosa related research publications. He completed his post-doctoral studies at Johns Hopkins, Baltimore on cancer biology of thyroid cancers.
