Recent studies have reported a reduction in lung cancer mortality among current and former smokers with a minimum of 30 packs/year following the use of low-dose helical computed tomography, and have provided sufficient evidence to establish strong international recommendations for lung cancer prevention.
Therefore, a more frequent future presentation of lung cancer will be via a solitary pulmonary nodule, a relevant fact given that diagnosis at advanced stages has been the norm in the last 30 years and the reason for the low prevalence of this disease.
Nowadays, to talk about oncology is to talk about "multidisciplinary teams", about advances in fields of science that are increasingly involved, and this, apart from being interesting, means that we need continuous education that is often difficult to acquire in other training courses or congresses since they are oriented to a very specific area and specific to a single specialty.
Not losing this multidisciplinary vision is very important because many advances in one area can have implications in the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms used in oncology. In fact, one of the skills that we aim for students to achieve with this Postgraduate certificate is to have a broad and clear vision of oncology, and to use the comparison of scientific advances in each area as a tool that will allow them to advance their knowledge.
