Oncoanatomy 


In collaboration with the Radiation Oncology Department, we teach an oncoanatomy course for residents. Residents present a lecture on a specific form of cancer and our faculty demonstrate three prosection views of the anatomical region of interest. To learn more about this course, read our article
