Increase your skills: in this program you will learn to recognize rare types of breast cancer, the most specific aspects of its approach and the complexity of its treatment, with rigor and excellence"  

The postgraduate diploma in Uncommon Digestive, Gynecologic and Hereditary Tumors has been designed with the aim of preparing specialists in this field, with the most advanced and updated knowledge in the field. 

Rare digestive tumors include a heterogeneous variety of pathologies with very different diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic approach. According to the World Health Organization classification, the following tumors are included in this category: small bowel, appendicular, anal canal carcinoma, liver and intrahepatic bile duct tumors, gallbladder and extrahepatic bile duct neoplasms, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. 

Rare tumors of gynecologic origin often pose challenges for the specialist who only rarely deals with them, hence the need to train and stay familiar with the management of these pathologies. Urological neoplasms are themselves an uncommon group of tumors. These tumors may be rare because of their location, such as carcinoma of the penis, or because they show an atypical histology in the context of the location in which they arise, for example, neuroendocrine tumors of the prostate.  

The common feature of all of them is that they are unknown and little studied, so there is not a great deal of documentation on the subject. In many cases, in the absence of clinical trials in these pathologies, due to the small number of patients, therapeutic management is usually based on the extrapolation of existing data for neoplasms of similar location and higher frequency. 

This program will also provide an opportunity to study the major hereditary syndromes from a clinical and molecular perspective. At the present time, every oncologist must ask patients about their family history, and it is imperative that they have, at a minimum, a baseline knowledge of family groupings. 

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.
