Introduction
Welcome to the Biology of Cancer and Haematology for Semester 1, 2016.
Understanding the biology of cancer and haematology malignancies is a prerequisite for
advanced cancer and haematology nursing practice. This unit of study provides the biomedical
scientific foundations for cancer and haematology nursing practice. The unit consists of four
modules in which students will explore the following topics in relation to their specialist practice
role: 1. biological concepts in cancer and haematology; 2. principles of treatment intent, kinetics
and dynamics; 3. synthesising pathophysiology and therapy in specific tumour groups; and 4.
understanding nursing care and clinical decision making in a context of evidence based
practice.

Unit Structure
Credit Points: 6
Level: Postgraduate, Post-registration
Semester: 1
Delivery Mode: Block mode/Blended learning
Classes: Distance education/intensive on campus (with 4 study days)
Unit Summary
This unit of study will provide the scientific basis for cancer and haematology nursing practice.
Students will examine, in detail, biological concepts related to haemopoiesis, immunology,
carcinogenesis, genetics and epigenetics. Recent advances in the understanding of the biology
of cancer will be discussed. This unit of study will provide a framework and foundation for
understanding the impact of both malignant disease and therapeutic management. Biological
and physiological principles that support cancer treatments will be reviewed in detail. A detailed
understanding of the biology of malignant disease together with that of the physiological effect
of treatment is imperative for developing skills and capacity in specialist cancer and
haematology nursing practice.
Unit Aim
This unit builds on existing knowledge of normal physiology to support students in the
development of their understanding of altered physiology, specifically in relation to cancer and
haematology. Students will integrate their understanding of the trajectory of normal to altered
physiology, with clinical experience. In doing so, they will apply their knowledge in distinguishing
between and recognising the inter-relatedness of clinical presentations of; malignant disease,
complications of cancer treatment and co morbidities. Students will be encouraged to
consistently relate core constructs and concepts to clinical practice by asking ‘what is
happening?’ and ‘what does this mean?’
6. Unit of Study Outline - Semester 1, 2016
Learning Outcomes
In addition to any personal learning outcomes you set yourself, by the end of this unit, you
should have or be able to;
1. apply knowledge of normal and altered physiology in cancer and haematology patients to
physical and clinical assessment findings;
1. critically evaluate the clinical management of cancer and haematology patients; and
1. critique research-based information that informs cancer and haematology nursing practice.
2. The assessment component of this unit of study has been designed to measure these
learning outcomes through the student’s ability to analyse the literature, reflect on
experience and construct a scholarly piece of work.
Graduate Attributes
The University of Sydney policy specifies two levels of graduate attributes. There are three
overarching graduate attributes – Scholarship, Lifelong Learning, and Global Citizenship –
which reflect the research intensive nature of the University, its scholarly values in relation to
research-led teaching, and the place of its graduates in a global society. These attributes are
developed through students’ participation as active members of the university community,
through extracurricular activities as well as their formal studies. These overarching attributes are
built on our graduates’ development of the next level of graduate attributes. The development of
these attributes is explicitly focussed on in teaching and assessment in students’ formal courses
of study at the University.
This unit of study has been designed to specifically focus on the development of students’
abilities in:
1. Research and Inquiry – Graduates of the university will be able to exercise critical judgment
and critical thinking in creating new understanding. Nursing graduates will be creative and
imaginative thinkers who have an informed respect for the principles, methods, standards,
values and boundaries of their discipline and the capacity to question these who are also able to
critically evaluate existing understandings and recognise the limitations of their own knowledge;
2. Personal and Intellectual Autonomy - Graduates of the University will be able to work
independently and sustainably, in a way that is informed by openness, curiosity and a desire to
meet new challenges. Nursing graduates will be intellectually curious and able to sustain
intellectual interest and open to new ideas, methods and ways of thinking. Capable of
identifying processes and strategies to learn and meet new challenges and independent
learners who take responsibility for their own learning, and are committed to continuous
reflection, self-evaluation and self-improvement;
3. Ethical, Social and Professional Understanding -Graduates of the University will hold
personal values and beliefs consistent with their role as responsible members of local, national,
international and professional communities. Nursing graduates will acknowledge their personal
responsibility for their own value judgments and behaviour, understand and accept social,

Assessments Items
Assessment 1
Assessment type: Essay
Length: 2,000 words
Value: 40%
Topic: There is a professional and societal expectation that health care be based on the best
available evidence, and in an effort to ensure best practice, organisations develop policies,
procedures or clinical practice guidelines to regulate clinical practice. While institutional
documents have a perceived high level of authority, it is not always clear to clinicians whether
such documents are based on the best available evidence.
In this assessment you are required to select from your health care organisation one area of
clinical practice that is regulated by either a clinical practice guideline or policy document and
examine the authority of this document in relation to the current literature. It is expected that you
will:
? write a focused clinical question relating to one aspect of clinical practice;
? describe your search strategy and its output;
? provide an annotated bibliography of at least five articles that specifically address your
clinical question; and
? discuss your perception of the strength of your chosen guideline or document, based on
current evidence.

Unit Content
The content of this unit of study is presented in four modules; biological concepts in cancer and
haematology; principles of treatment intent, kinetics and dynamics; synthesising
pathophysiology and therapy in specific tumour groups; understanding nursing care and clinical
decision making in a context of evidence based practice.
Module one examines cancer and haematology related pathophysiology. The module will
provide a foundation of understanding in key biological concepts; haemopoiesis, immunology,
carcinogenesis, genetics and epigenetics. They will be presented within the contexts of
screening, surveillance and diagnosis.
In module two, the therapeutic principles of cancer treatment modalities, including but not
limited to: haemopoetic stem cell transplant, surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and
biotherapy, will be examined. Contemporary approaches to treatment including targeted therapy
and risk adapted therapy will be critically evaluated. Treatment kinetics and treatment dynamics
will be examined in the contexts of normal and altered physiology.
Module three builds on the content of modules one and two, integrating pathophysiology and
treatment approaches within specific tumour groups. Through examination of current research
directions and management guidelines, students will critique and contextualise evidence based
practice and the notion of best practice within their tumour group of interest.
Module four will interrogate how pathophysiology and treatment informs nursing care across
the trajectory of the cancer journey. The module will examine how assessment and clinical
judgement in the cancer and haematology context are informed by specific pathophysiology and
treatment effects. Clinical decision making and contemporary nursing care will be examined in
the context of rapidly changing situations and changes in treatment intent, for example from
curative to palliative intent. Vignettes and simulated work scenarios will be used throughout to
stimulate discussion, debate and reflection
