Agnostic treatments allow us to be more effective in therapies for rare tumors, so it is important to have specialized professionals in this field. Study this program and advance your career" 

Currently, the diagnostic accuracy achieved with next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques has made possible a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, opening the door to the choice of treatment based on a particular biomolecular alteration, rather than the type and location of the tumor, a concept known as tumor-agnostic treatment. 

The main objective of precision medicine in oncology is the detection of the molecular alterations that act as the main causes of cancer. One of the most important biomarkers detected is the NTRK fusion gene, which appears in a wide variety of tumor types in both adult and pediatric patients. In this program we review the clinical and molecular aspects of these tumors, whose prognosis varies radically when recognized. 

Another classic agnostic treatment is that of tumors with microsatellite instability, which benefit, also in an approved manner, from the use of immunotherapy independent of the anatomical location of the tumor. The diagnosis of microsatellite instability can be molecular but also immunohistochemical, and therefore widely available, so providing students with knowledge of the possibilities of diagnosis, treatment and genetic counseling of patients with this alteration is fundamental and will have an important impact on the survival of their patients. 

In this program, the experts, all of them referents in each area of knowledge, will develop aspects related to the context of this spectrum of pathologies, will present the clinical and molecular vision of the same, will show their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and will explain complementary aspects such as their research and institutional environment or the global reality of the patients who suffer from them. In this way, a global vision is offered, as well as a specific one, of this type of pathologies, with the objective of preparing you for professional success. 

Students will be able to complete the program at their own pace, without being subject to fixed schedules or the travel involved in classroom teaching, so they can combine it with the rest of their daily obligations. 

The specialization of oncology professionals improves the treatment of patients, so it is essential that they continue their learning throughout their working life"
