Postgraduate Diploma in Digestive Medical Oncology.

Digestive medical oncology is a subspecialty of oncology that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancers affecting the gastrointestinal tract and other associated organs, such as the liver and pancreas.

Research and analysis aspects for the development of digestive medical oncology.

Diagnosis of digestive cancers: different diagnostic techniques, including endoscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and biopsy, are studied to identify the location and extent of the disease.

Treatment of digestive cancers: different treatment options are studied, such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy and immunotherapy, to identify and apply the most effective treatment for each patient.

Prevention of digestive cancers: risk factors for digestive cancers, such as diet and lifestyle, are studied to inform the population and prevent the occurrence of these cancers.

Research into new treatments and diagnostic techniques: new therapies and diagnostic techniques are studied to improve the effectiveness of treatment and increase the survival rate.

From the academic setting this program for experts in digestive medical oncology aims to provide students with an advanced understanding of the tools and techniques necessary for conducting research and improving knowledge of the treatment of digestive cancers. Overall, digestive medical oncology plays a key role in improving the early detection, treatment and prevention of digestive cancers, which helps to improve the quality of life and survival of patients.
