Introduction to the Program
Specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of this type of tumors and reduce the number of deaths from this cause with the help of the best experts"

The concept of cancer of unknown origin encompasses a wide range of situations. In general, it refers to tumors that are diagnosed at a metastatic stage, in which, after a correct diagnostic process, we cannot elucidate the origin of the primary tumor. They represent 3-5% of all tumors diagnosed and are the tenth most common type of tumor in developed countries.
For adults, a cancer is considered rare when its annual incidence is less than 6 cases per 100,000 people. It is estimated that they account for up to 24% of cancers diagnosed in the European Union and about 20% of cancers diagnosed in the United States.
It must be taken into account that this is an area of great research. Therefore, the evolution of molecular diagnostic techniques has made it possible to detect new genomic alterations, which are likely to cause a tumor phenotype, as well as to have greater precision in the detection of those already known. Currently, the diagnostic accuracy achieved with next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques has made possible a paradigm shift in cancer treatment, opening the door to the choice of treatment based on a particular biomolecular alteration, rather than the type and location of the tumor, a concept known as tumor-agnostic treatment.
In this program, the student is trained to recognize the different entities that make up this group of pathologies: uncommon, rare and ultra-rare cancer; orphan tumors; agnostic tumors; and cancer of unknown origin. This Postgraduate diploma allows the student to approach precision medicine in the context of uncommon tumors, agnostic treatments and cancer of unknown origin, through the resolution of problems by means of different clinical experiences with precision medicine and will be able to apply genomics in the diagnosis and treatment of this type of tumors.
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.
You will know how to apply the knowledge gained to clinical and research problem solving in the area of rare pathology"
