The CASE system for cancer education
Abstract:
A Computer-Assisted-Self-Evaluation (CASE) program in oncology is described. The program is based on motivation by immediate, informative feedback, and involves the computer-guided interaction of a student with a series of microfiche cards. The computer leads the student through a series of 16 questions and associated explanations and recommendations based on the answer choices. Since all textual materials are placed on microfiche cards, the computer is only required to print simple, prearranged sentences and comments. As a result four students, using different CASE topics, can time-share the same computer terminal. This time-sharing capability, together with the large but compact, low cost information storage afforded by the use of microfiche, makes the cost of this system comparable to that of conventional study aids. The use of the CASE system as an educational aid and self-tutoring mechanism has been well accepted by faculty and students.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
