Oncology Advances

The methodology adopted is of the active expository type, using slides and scientific publications for critical analysis, promoting the discussion of different therapeutic approaches in oncology and integrating the results of randomized trials into international recommendations.
The evaluation of the Course Unit will be written with evaluation and integration of clinical, imaging, anatomopathological and molecular biology information in the selection of different therapeutic strategies in different pathological areas.

• Metabolic pathways involved and modulated by new therapies in Oncology
• Recent advances in systemic therapy in Oncology
• Recent advances in Radioncology
• Recent advances in the surgical approach to cancer patients
• Integration of advances in molecular biology and pathological anatomy in the definition of therapeutics and prognosis for cancer patients
• Approach to the most recent therapies by pathological area
• Integration of results from randomized clinical trials in Oncology into international recommendations for the treatment of cancer patients by pathological area
