Expand your training with us and you will see how you advance in your daily practice"

Cytology, which has already played a very important role in the diagnosis of cervical cancer, has now become a tool of excellence, provided it is in experienced hands and has technical tools that make it possible to obtain from a handful of cells, determining information on some functional characteristics of the tumor, as well as possible resistance to certain therapeutic drugs.

Cytology has developed its fields so much that today it is possible to perform immunohistochemical staining (immunocytochemistry), to know mutations or other specific genomic alterations, and also the status of biomarkers essential in cancer management. In these modules, we will comprehensively address the most important cytological details that allow the diagnosis of neoplasms in different organs and settings, as well as the different techniques used in obtaining cytological material. 

Finally, we will address the role of the cytologist within the multidisciplinary cancer diagnostic and management team, his role in the design of new drugs and immunotherapy. 
This postgraduate certificate in Cytological Diagnosis offers the possibility to specialize in this subject and will allow you to develop the competences, abilities and skills necessary for the performance of the profession, generating greater added value to your professional performance.

This online postgraduate certificate is developed by medical professionals who have extensive experience in this pathology, and who provide students with their knowledge, experience and practical cases that give this course the quality training it deserves.
