    The oncology education is essential for all medical students as cancer is currently the leading cause of death in Thailand and the cancer incidence rate is likely to rise. Professor Dr. Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn's presentation consisted of six core topics covering multi-stages carcinogenesis and biology of neoplastic cells. HRH pointed out that such in-depth understanding of the cause of cancer could lead to the development of cancer drugs and targeted treatments that could effectively suppress the disease.
