Oncology physicians must continue their specialization throughout their careers, as new developments in this field are constantly emerging that allow them to offer more up-to-date and effective treatments"

This postgraduate certificate includes the most complete specialization on the market in the care of long-surviving patients with low-incidence tumors. In this regard, two fundamental aspects are addressed: on the one hand, the need to learn how to care for long-surviving patients, who will give rise to a population with very particular needs; on the other hand, it must be taken into account that the survival of this group is lower than that of the general oncology population.  

According to the U.S. Cancer Institute, "when it comes to cancer, survivorship covers the physical, psychosocial and economic problems of cancer, from diagnosis to the end of life. It focuses on the health and life of a person with cancer beyond the diagnosis and treatment phases. Survival includes issues related to the ability to obtain medical care, follow-up, care for late effects of treatment, second primary cancers and quality of life. Family, friends and caregivers are also part of the survival experience”  

But it should be appreciated that terminal illness, end of life and dying care should be kept in mind and the student should be given the opportunity to become familiar with the competencies for their management. Palliative medicine is an area of enormous growth in recent years and updating in palliative care has become a necessity for all those professionals who treat patients with oncological processes. Society demands that professionals who care for these types of patients keep their knowledge up-to-date. 

Another important part of this specialization is its focus on the toxicity of the new treatments available, as well as acute care and, as a very novel aspect, treatment in intensive care units. 

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 training you for professional success. 

Learn about the latest developments in this type of pathologies and you will notice how you advance in your daily work"
