Abstract
Cancer is one of the main causes of death in the Western world. In our ageing society the number of patients will continue to rise in the coming decades since the incidence of the disease is higher among the elderly. The treatment of patients with malignant tumours will therefore to be one of the main challenges in the near future and has therefore be dealt in an interdisciplinary context of several cognate disciplines in medicine. The early education of students in the field of cancer research was therefore the main aim to install a special component of a teaching programme, the “Comprehensive Studies of Oncology”. These accompanying studies parallel to the last part of their normal studies” offers the most interested students the opportunity to acquire additional knowledge and skills in the field of oncological research at a high standard. The, Comprehensive Studies of Oncology‟ are linked to the “Comprehensive Cancer Centre (CCC) In Marburg”. More than 70 students attended the last 10 years successfully the curriculum.
