As a this educational program will, we will see how the histological heterogeneity of glioblastoma makes total eradication impossible, because residual cancer cells invade the parenchyma, which remains invisible to any radiographic technique. In this way, we analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic management of both primary and metastatic brain tumors. We will discuss current technologies used for the resection of gliomas, such as awake craniotomy, fluorescence-guided surgery, neuronavigation, neuroendoscopy, among many others.

Another advance that will be widely seen comes from the field of genomics whose advances have made it possible to learn that more than half of pediatric brain tumors have genetic abnormalities that could help in diagnosis or treatment, which is reflected in the recent decision of the World Health Organization to classify such tumors by genetic alterations, rather than by tumor type. Therefore, precision medicine for pediatric brain tumors is now a reality, and possibly in the near future also for adult brain tumors.

Immunotherapy has shown promise for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. This is because glioblastoma multiforme exhibits powerful adaptive capabilities, a relative lack of immunogenicity, an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and intratumoral heterogeneity. Therefore, experts agree that immune-targeted therapies are likely to play a central role in improving the durability of treatment.

To facilitate student learning, TECH has created this advanced program based on the exclusive Relearning methodology. In addition, exclusively for this program, the university has had the support of a guest director, a relevant international figure in the field of Neurological Oncology and Neurosurgery, who will share with the graduates several masterclasses in video format talking about his contributions to this medical field, as well as sharing his expert experience with the graduates.

The teaching staff will be formed by a clinical team of the highest level, as well as by a guest director of international relevance in the field of Neurological Oncology"

This professional master’s degree in Neurological Oncology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:
