Postgraduate Diploma in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques in Oncology

Diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in oncology have developed rapidly in recent decades, leading to better disease management and improved patient survival. Among the most widely used diagnostic techniques are positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biopsy. In terms of therapies, advances in immunotherapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy have significantly improved the quality of life of cancer patients. It is important to mention that each treatment is unique and personalized for each patient, which implies an individualized evaluation and constant follow-up. At TECH Global University we understand the importance of having highly trained professionals in the field of oncology. Therefore, we have designed our Postgraduate Diploma in Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques in Oncology. A comprehensive qualification program, optimized thanks to the benefits of digital learning and cutting-edge pedagogical models.
