Expand your knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of the most infrequent cancers, especially those related to the chest wall and head and neck. You will advance in your profession and achieve better results in your patients"

The most recent studies on head and neck tumors, as well as those of the thoracic wall, have shown that professionals must be trained and updated to face the new challenges posed by the sector. Therefore, it is essential to deepen in this field, identifying diagnostic techniques and effective treatments. That is why this postgraduate certificate will provide all the information that professionals need so much.

On the other hand, during the completion of this program, the student will gain the experience of the multitude of clinical cases that are presented, and will acquire skills in aspects of epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and classification, prognostic factors, treatment and recommendations of clinical guidelines.
  
Additionally, the professional will have a section dedicated to lung cancer as a paradigm of personalized medicine and will acquire skills in the use of diagnostic techniques and new treatment options. They will also be able to take a tour through the known driver mutations  in the context of lung cancer: EGFR, BRAF, MET, KRAS, ALK, ROS-1. And you will learn about the role of translocations and rearrangements or amplifications:   NTRK, RET, MET, HER-2.  

Finally, students will take a tour of the most infrequent tumors of the otorhinolaryngology and head and neck area, acquiring skills for their diagnosis and treatment: nasopharyngeal carcinoma and salivary gland tumors; nasal and paranasal sinus tumors; melanomas, sarcomas and lymphoproliferative syndromes of the head and neck; dental tumors; ameloblastoma and neuroendocrine tumors of the head and neck. 

The experts who belong to the teaching team of this program, 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 addition, 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.

Become an expert on driver mutations in the context of lung cancer: EGFR, BRAF, MET, KRAS, ALK, ROS-1"

This postgraduate certificate in Tumors of the Pleura, Mediastinum and Chest Wall contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. It’s most outstanding features are:

• Case studies presented by experts in oncology  
• The graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents with which they are conceived gather scientific and practical information on those disciplines that are essential for professional practice 
• News on this type of tumors 
• Practical exercises where the self-assessment process can be carried out to improve learning 
• Special emphasis on innovative methodologies in the approach to this type of tumors 
• Theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection work
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

The specialization of oncology professionals achieves improvements in the treatment of patients, so it is crucial to continue learning throughout your medical career" 

The teaching staff includes professionals from the Oncology sector, who bring their experience to this educational program, as well as renowned specialists from leading societies and prestigious universities. 

Its multimedia content, developed with the latest educational technology, will allow the professional a situated and contextual learning, that is, a simulated environment that will provide an immersive training programmed to train in real situations. 

The design of this program focuses on Problem Based Learning, 
through which the specialist must try to solve the different situations of professional practice that arise throughout the academic program. For this purpose, the professional will be assisted by an innovative interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts. 

Become proficient in the use of diagnostic techniques and new treatment options for tumors of the Pleura, Mediastinum and Thoracic Wall"

This 100% online program will allow you to balalnce your studies with your professional work while increasing your knowledge in this field"

The program design of this program in Tumors of the Pleura, Mediastinum and Thoracic Wall will allow the student to delve into a field of medicine that is under constant research due to its rarity. This way, you will update your professional profile and boost your career in a field of study in which there is a lack of specialists. The program has been designed by a team of experts with contents that will enable the future graduate to reach the proposed objectives. However, you will be fully empowered to deal with the latest advances and the newest treatments currently being applied. For this reason, TECHestablishes a series of general and specific objectives for greater satisfaction of the future graduate, being the following.

You will gain an in-depth understanding of the role of lung cancer as a paradigm of personalized medicine" 

General Objectives

• Acquire concepts and knowledge regarding the epidemiology, clinical, diagnosis and treatment of infrequent tumors, agnostic diagnoses and cancers of unknown origin
• Know how to apply the diagnostic algorithms and evaluate the prognosis of this pathology
• Be able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of formulating clinical and diagnostic judgments based on the available clinical information
• Know how to apply acquired knowledge and problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the area of study
• Know how to establish complex therapeutic plans in the context of the pathology in question Have a deeper knowledge of specific treatment networks, reference centers, clinical trials
• Incorporate new technologies into daily practice, knowing their advances, limitations and future potential
• Acquire knowledge about molecular biology tools for the study of these tumors
• Have thorough knowledge and use Tumor Registries
• Know and use the face-to-face or virtual Molecular Committees
• Understand fundamental aspects of biobank operation
• Specialize in interprofessional relationship tools for the treatment of orphan, agnostic and cancer of unknown origin and to access expert networks in the different pathology groups
• Know how to apply knowledge to solve clinical and research problems in the area of rare pathology
• Know how to communicate conclusions, knowledge, and supporting arguments to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
• Acquire the learning skills to enable further studying in a largely self-directed or autonomous manner
• Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context
• Understand the social responsibility due to rare diseases
