Radiotherapy is the main tool in the treatment of cancer. However, there is still a long way to go in improving the survival rate of patient affected by this growing illness.

However, in addition to learning about the technological advances used to treat patients, it is equally as important that healthcare professionals can provide a proper diagnosis from the very beginning. Therefore, it is essential that they have all the information and up-to-date education to provide personalized and effective care to their patients. They should also be aware of new developments in the field of radiotherapy so that they can implement them in their treatments.

As more and more advances in radiotherapy emerge, it is also necessary for the oncologist to be aware of the possible effects of ionizing radiation on patients. For this purpose, they must also keep up to date in the field of radiobiology.

In this Postgraduate certificate we will learn about radiotherapy in oncological patients, with the possible effects that such treatment with radiotherapy can cause. Likewise, doctors will update their knowledge on the different treatments required in each case and will learn about the particularities to be carried out in the case of fetuses, for example.

This Postgraduate certificate provides oncology professionals with the keys to the use of the main advances in radiotherapy and radiobiology, which will enable them to evolve in their profession and keep up to date with recent research in this field of oncology.

Postgraduate Certificate in the Basis of Radiotherapy Treatment and Radiobiology

According to data presented by the World Health Organization, cancer is the cause of about 10 million deaths per year, standing out as the second cause of death worldwide. These worrying statistics have generated a growing interest on the part of medical research areas, due to the improvement of radiotherapeutic procedures applied to the treatment of oncological pathologies, which leads this sector to a constant pace of evolution and development. Due to this situation, and in order to keep abreast of the methodological novelties in the area, professionals specialized in this field require constant academic updating. In response to this need, at TECH Global University we have designed a Postgraduate Certificate in Radiotherapy Treatment and Radiobiology. This postgraduate course will delve into the new models of development of radiotherapeutic procedures. In addition, it will delve into the modernization of the following topics: the identification of the most recent advances in the knowledge of the biological effects of ionizing radiation and the practical management of new brachytherapy techniques.
