- Foundations of Preventive OncologyThis module introduces learners to the principles of preventive oncology, including the global burden of cancer, cancer epidemiology, risk factors, and the importance of prevention across the continuum of care. Participants will gain an understanding of cancer biology, carcinogenesis, levels of prevention, and the role of healthcare professionals in reducing cancer incidence through evidence-based preventive strategies.6
- Cancer Risk Factors and Prevention StrategiesThis module focuses on modifiable and non-modifiable cancer risk factors. Learners will explore lifestyle, environmental, occupational, infectious, and hereditary contributors to cancer development while learning evidence-based interventions to reduce cancer risk through behavioural and medical approaches.6
- Genetics and Hereditary Cancer SyndromesThis module provides comprehensive knowledge of hereditary cancers, genetic counselling, and molecular diagnostics. Participants will understand genetic susceptibility, screening recommendations for high-risk populations, and ethical aspects of genetic testing in preventive oncology.6
- Cancer Screening and Early DetectionThis module covers evidence-based cancer screening programs and early detection methods. Learners will understand screening guidelines, diagnostic pathways, and interpretation of screening results for common cancers while appreciating the benefits and limitations of population-based screening.6
- Preventive Vaccination and Infection ControlThis module explores the role of vaccination and infection prevention in reducing cancer incidence. Participants will learn about HPV, Hepatitis B, and other oncogenic infections, vaccination strategies, and public health interventions.6
- Lifestyle Medicine in Cancer PreventionThis module emphasizes lifestyle interventions that significantly reduce cancer risk. Learners will develop skills to counsel individuals regarding healthy nutrition, exercise, stress management, weight control, and cessation of harmful habits.6
- Occupational and Environmental OncologyThis module examines environmental pollutants, occupational hazards, radiation exposure, and industrial carcinogens. Participants will learn workplace safety standards and preventive strategies to minimise carcinogenic exposure.6
- Women's Cancer PreventionThis module focuses on prevention and early detection of cancers affecting women. Learners will understand risk assessment, screening recommendations, hormonal influences, and preventive strategies for breast, cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers.6
- Men's Cancer PreventionThis module addresses preventive strategies for cancers commonly affecting men. Participants will explore prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer prevention through screening, lifestyle interventions, and risk stratification.6
- Community Oncology and Health PromotionThis module equips learners with the skills to design and implement community-based cancer prevention initiatives. Topics include health education, behavioural change communication, awareness campaigns, and policy advocacy.6
- Research, Evidence-Based Practice, and Emerging TechnologiesThis module develops research competencies relevant to preventive oncology. Learners will critically appraise scientific literature, understand clinical trials, biomarkers, artificial intelligence applications, and emerging technologies supporting early detection and prevention.6
- Clinical Practice, Leadership, and Capstone ProjectThe final module integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application through supervised clinical exposure, multidisciplinary collaboration, quality improvement initiatives, leadership development, and a capstone project focused on preventive oncology practice.6
