Access to a specialized program where you can get up to speed with the main diagnostic and therapeutic techniques used in Respiratory Infections and Tumors and become a reference in the field”  

Lower respiratory tract infections and pneumonia are among the leading causes of death worldwide, with more than four million deaths per year, particularly affecting low- and middle-income countries. In this regard, pulmonary tuberculosis continues to stand out, for which new molecular diagnostic techniques have been developed to improve management and disease resistance. Likewise, in recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in bronchiectasis not due to cystic fibrosis, with greater detection of this pathology due to advances in computed tomography precision, population aging and higher disease chronicity. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a turning point in infectious pathology, being the greatest challenge the scientific community and the population has faced in the last century. Additionally, diseases affecting the pleura are a very frequent cause of pulmonologist consultation, and therefore pose a daily challenge in clinical practice.

Regarding tumors, lung cancer is one of the most prevalent worldwide and the main cause of death from cancer, given the rise in incidence in recent years. An example of this is that in Spain some 20,000 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed every year. The role of the pulmonologist in this pathology includes knowledge of risk factors, establishing diagnostic suspicion, as well as diagnosis and staging. It is also important to know both the potential surgical and medical treatment lines (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy) used in each case, from a personalized approach.

Taking into account the importance of all these diseases, TECH Technological University proposes this postgraduate diploma in Respiratory Infections and Tumors, where each of them will be addressed in a comprehensive and updated way, including the diagnostic and therapeutic advances made in recent years. And, all of this in a 100% online program, which will give students the advantage of being able to study at their own pace while observing their obligations and interests.
