Cancer affects more than cells and systems. It touches individuals, families, and communities from the moment of diagnosis. In this three-course specialization from Rice University, you'll explore cancer biology, risk factors, screening, treatment, and survivorship; examine how stress affects the body; and learn about evidence-informed approaches to healthy living, including social support, stress management, sleep, physical activity, diet, and environmental health. Through research presented by Dr. Daniel C. Hughes and experiences shared by cancer survivors and caregivers, you'll connect scientific concepts with the human experience of cancer and develop a broader understanding of health, well-being, and survivorship.
Projet d'apprentissage appliqué
