Once again Thanks.

Good course, but why researchers whant to hold/control cancer in a human and not rebuild the destroyed mechanisms of autoregul;ation by genetic engeneering for example? That would be true cure.

The course really helped me to understand the steps involved in the metastases of cancer.
The course instructors have a deepened understanding & experience of this subject; which is literally showed up during the sessions.
This really sowed the seed of cancer research in me. Thanks for creating such courses to COURSERA & JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY .

The courses offered here are excellent, and completion of the courses really adds extraordinary color to my profile. I'll be happy to take some more courses from John Hopkins University in the future. Also, the lecturers of this specialization are excellent. Moreover, this specialization truely matches my inquisitiveness about cancer biology.

A special thanks to the professors of Johns Hopkins University and Coursera for putting forward this course.Understanding Cancer Metastasis is a very informative course and enlightens one on how cancer spreads from a primary site to distant organs in our body and has been a fatal disease in the past,present and will be in the future.

Sarah, Gilani, Haley but, to me, especially Professor Ken's spirit and enthusiasm about the subject has been amazing :-) A BIG thank you to the whole team and I hope to be able to listen to Ken in the future as well, and I'm really looking forward to Haley having her own course available soon, she's great, a true role model for me!

I highly recommend this course not only to all medical students but to the cancer patients, too, so they can take control of their life and understand that they can change the macroenvironment of their cancer every single day. Modern medicine is limited in cancer treatment. We need to learn more about public health beyond drugs.

It was the best cancer course I've ever taken. The dept of the subjects was just what I needed to understand at a molecular and cellular level the origin of cancer, metastatisis and the mortality it causes. Congratulations to all the team.

It was really clear and concise. I have really enjoyed the course and really learned multiple concepts. I am an active researcher in the field of cancer biology (Ph.D. scholar). In my opinion, the addition of some content like association of metastasis with cancer stem cells and drug resistance would be more helpful.

Un curso muy completo para entender como el cáncer hace metástasis, los pasos secuenciales que lleva este proceso y los aspectos biológicos que esto involucra. Es un curso para tener conocimiento general del proceso de metástasis y con este será más fácil poder entender artículos científicos relacionados al proceso.

I am a final year medical student. This course has really helped me understand cancer metastasis very well. I am sure that this will definitely help me in learning and understanding each systemic cancer very well. Thanks much to all the faculties who took the lectures with ease and great understanding.

The course content was very impressive. I loved the flow of the lectures and how easy it was to learn the concepts. One of the improvements can be to explain the slides in more detail if possible. But overall, the course was indeed very informative and they've helped me learn a lot of new concepts.

A very optimal course. Videos are short, informative and to the point. Illustrations are precise, well chosen and critical. The authors very succinctly explain the connections among various factors of cancer, and also the connections between the disease mechanisms and the corresponding treatments.

I have learned a lot from this course. I would love to see a third course on cancer, as a follow-up to "Introduction to the Biology of Cancer" and "Understanding Cancer Metastasis.". They have helped me a lot to review and recall things that I already knew and learn new ones. Thank you very much.

I found that this course was excellent, it was very informative, concise and helpful for me studying on the topic of cancer related issues in patients. I am so glad this course was available, I only wish I had known about it when I was doing research for my PhD. Thanks for being there Coursera!

This course explains in more detail cancer metastasis. It's best to take it after the "Introduction to cancer biology" course. Basic knowledge in biology is recommended but not needed. I think their explanations are very clear and easy to understand even if you do not know anything of biology.

even though I'm a medical student and have some information regarding this subject; the course was very informative and have few surprising and mind blwoing studies. Very intersting subject and hopefully one day I can contribute to cancer research by being a physician and a researcher

I loved this course and enjoyed it a lot!
Very informative and done in a simple as well as easy to follow way. Thanks to everyone who has participated in the preparation of this course and the course of the biology of cancer. I look forward to attending more courses with this team,

thanks for making the course very interesting. since the videos are very small it is easily to listen the lecture without any difficulties. thanks for introducing new terms and new concepts though coursera. it ll help me to search many article related to this course.
thank you

As Plastic surgery resident, it was very halpfull to understand the imunology & genetics for metastasis development. Since we are seeing and operating patients with subcutaneous and distant metastasis on daily basis, the course enabled me to care even more about my patients.

I would like to pursue my doctoral degree in Cancer Biology. I hope, it will helpful for me. I enjoyed eagerly knowing each concept and the escaping culprit [cancer metastasis] from place to place as a nomad. My heartfelt thanks to the instructors who taught the concepts.

I very much liked the structure of the course as it was presented with theory and was supported with clinical evaluations . If I could suggest anything at all ,I would like to see more challenging quiz's for one's self evaluation. Apart from that it was a valuable course.

I thought this course was excellent. My dad has terminal cancer and it helps understand what is happening with him and has helped me develop hypotheses of my own as he has squamous cell carinoma CUP which was previously confusing, but now makes a little more sense.

The course was very well structured and all the instructors explained it well. As a post grad student looking forward to get into the field of research in cancer biology, this course has helped me clear my basics and come up with new ideas for my future research.
