With this Postgraduate certificate in Basis of Radiotherapy Treatment and Radiobiology, you have the opportunity to update your knowledge comfortably and without sacrificing scientific accuracy, in order to incorporate the latest advances into your daily medical practice"

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.
