Key Summary
Introduction
What is MOM?
The Online Master’s Degree in Molecular Oncology is a private program awarded by the Centro de Estudios Biosanitarios (CEB) and carried out with the recommendation of the European School of Oncology (ESO). It is aimed at clinical oncologists, pathologists, haematologists and other specialists in Medicine or bioscience field linked to tumor disease.
It is a specialized postgraduate training initiative unique in the world in this discipline. It has more than 100 teachers rigorously selected to offer the best professionals in molecular oncology at national and international molecular level who are first-person authors of the discovery they teach.
The MOM offers training in Molecular Oncology based on a multidisciplinary view of the tumor disease, which has a positive impact on the care aspect.
100% Online Training
All our courses, programs, and masters are completely online, hosted on our own digital academic platform.
The student will have access to
- Basic knowledge about the origin and development of cancers.
- Methodology of basic and clinical oncology research.
- Phenotypic expression patterns of tumors.
- Therapeutic approaches based on molecular pathways involved in carcinogenesis.
Why do a master's degree in Molecular Oncology?
Advanced Training
The training received by specialists linked to oncologic disease, during their medical degree and subsequent MIR specialization, does not address with sufficient time and detail the knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer. Today, excellent clinical practice is not conceivable without knowledge of the molecular basis of the disease.
Revolutionary Clinical Practice
Diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment based on the patient's molecular pattern allow for state-of-the-art clinical practice. New therapeutic strategies are based on specific inhibitors of molecular targets, or on blocking or activating certain pathways. It is essential to provide training that allows professionals to learn about the molecular basis of cancer and patients to benefit from this knowledge.
Research Advances
Oncology in the 21st century is underpinned by research breakthroughs. Only a common translational research effort can bring these advances to the patient's bedside. Research and training are essential tools for dealing with cancer in daily clinical practice. If either of them is missing, the approach to the patient will not be correct.
Modality
The student accesses the recorded classes through the e-learning platform of the Centro de Estudios Biosanitarios. The presentation used by the professor during his presentation will be made available to the student. The student will be able to send queries to the professors from the e-learning platform.
