Introduction to the Program

New circumstances in Gynecologic Oncology have pushed us to introduce new educational programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate new advances into their daily practice"

Gynecologic Oncology has undergone remarkable development in the past few years. Both specialties, gynecology and oncology, face increasingly complex challenges associated with the development of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as technological and informatics innovations and the use of biomaterials and new, much more conservative surgical procedures.

These developments force specialists to constantly update there knowledge and understanding, by studying the available evidence and developing new skills. This allows them to keep up with technological and social changes to improve patient health.

The Master's Degree in Gynecologic Oncology allows the specialist to access this information in a practical way, without compromising on the science involved, adapting the process to their personal and professional needs.

This Master's Degree in Gynecologic Oncology contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market”
