experto universitario manifestaciones clínicas e investigación en enfermería oncológica

The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Manifestations and Oncology Nursing Research has been designed to meet the nurses' need for knowledge of genetics, cell biology or tumor markers, including advanced histological and biological concepts that will allow the student to understand the mechanisms that cause cancer and the factors involved in its appearance.

The student will also become familiar with the risk factors involved in cancer occurrence and epidemiology. Cancer prevention, as well as the strategies to be implemented at each of its levels will be a fundamental topic in this Postgraduate Diploma.  

It should be taken into account that oncology patients can present a wide variety of symptoms due to the evolution and pathophysiology of their disease. Their coexistence with adverse effects attributable to antineoplastic treatments is frequent, so it is essential to perform an exhaustive, methodical and correct evaluation of the manifestations presented by the oncologic patient. To ensure a good control of the patient, it is essential that the student learns to determine the causes and factors related to the appearance of their symptomatology.  

Finally, another of the fundamental aspects on which this training program focuses is research, a basic pillar in the development of any discipline. The specialization of oncology in different areas and the evolution in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors are the result of the knowledge acquired through this research.  

The combination of multimedia resources, real clinical cases and updated contents will complete the specialization of the student, who will also acquire skills in communication, psychosocial approach and research, essential to provide quality care based on scientific evidence.

The updating of the contents of this Postgraduate Diploma and its integrative approach will give rise to a complete vision of all aspects related to oncology nursing. The contents will provide a journey through the diverse needs of cancer patients, whose particularities require personalized attention.

Both the design of the program and the didactic material used will facilitate the understanding of concepts, and the realization of practical cases will help to adapt what has been learned to clinical practice. In this way, the completion of the Postgraduate Diploma will provide immersive learning to achieve the professional's training in real situations of their usual professional practice.
