Thanks to scientific and technological advances in recent years, there has been a significant increase in the possibilities for treating and curing children and adolescents with oncological diseases. These scientific and therapeutic advances are continuous and require constant specialization and updating from nursing professionals working in Pediatric Oncohematology units in order to offer quality care to people who require specific and increasingly complex assistance. 

Nursing care for pediatric patients with neoplastic pathology and their families is a challenge due to the significance of the disease itself, its evolution, the intensive and specific treatment required, its side effects and the emotional and social repercussions it has on them. 

Pediatric oncology nurses are aware of the need for postgraduate training to achieve a specific level of competence that will allow them to broaden clinical training in order to meet the care needs of patients and their families.

Pediatric Oncology: a motivating plus to your career

Although the subject of pediatric cancer arouses unfortunate emotions due to the dense nature of the problem worldwide, the truth is that advances in medical sciences give a positive outlook in this aspect. A publication by the National Cancer Institute in September 2021 talks about the approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of NTRK inhibitors: a gene that converts healthy cells into cancer cells. This treatment, although applicable to adults, is focused on pediatric patients. In this context, the future for combating oncological pathologies in children looks promising. You too can contribute to this gradual change by studying our Professional Master's Degree. There are, in total, ten modules in which you can learn from pediatric care for oncohematology to the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) to provide multidisciplinary support, all in an immersive environment that will show you why we are world leaders in distance higher education.
