Advances in gynaecologic oncology research lead to continuous updates in clinical guidelines. However, undergraduate medical education often lacks in-depth coverage of recent developments, limiting students' preparedness for evidence-based management of gynaecological cancers. This study aimed to bridge the educational gap by integrating case-based analyses of practice-changing studies into the undergraduate obstetrics and gynaecology course.

Article Synopsis
  • - Cell senescence starts as a protective mechanism against tumors but can eventually lead to cancer recurrence and damage to surrounding tissues due to the buildup of senescent cells.
  • - Senescent cells release bioactive molecules known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which can cause chronic inflammation and promote tumor growth through signaling to nearby cells.
  • - Senolytic drugs target and remove senescent cells, potentially enhancing cancer treatments by preventing tumor recurrence and allowing safer, lower doses of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, making them a promising option in personalized cancer therapy.

The Medical University of Warsaw is one of Poland's largest medical universities, currently enrolling nearly 10,000 students, including 608 international undergraduates.This manuscript aims to share our experience with a literature review on organizing and coordinating clinical classes for English Division undergraduate medical students at a single centre in a country where English is not an official language. We would like to highlight certain aspects that have proven highly beneficial in our educational efforts and offer universal advice applicable to clinical classes in any specialty.
