What is MOM?

The Master’s degree in Molecular Oncology is a private training program. It is aimed at clinical oncologists, pathologists, hematologists and other specialists in medicine or the bio-health field related to tumor disease. It is a specialized postgraduate training initiative pioneer in Spain and unique in the world in this discipline.

It has more than 100 faculty members rigorously selected to offer the best molecular oncology professionals at the national and international molecular oncology level that are authors of the discovery they teach.

The MOM offers training in Molecular Oncology based on a multidisciplinary vision of the tumor disease, which has a positive impact on the care aspect.

The student will have access to

Basic knowledge about the origin and development of cancers.
Methodology of basic and clinical oncology research.
Phenotypic expression patterns of tumors.
Therapeutic approaches based on molecular pathways involved in carcinogenesis.

This program provides the cutting-edge training that oncology specialists require in the 21st century. Today, excellent clinical practice is inconceivable without knowledge of the molecular basis of the disease, and without a diagnosis, prognosis and treatment based increasingly on the molecular markers of each patient.

Why do a master’s degree in Molecular Oncology?

Advanced Training

The training received by specialists linked to oncologic disease, during the medical degree and subsequent specialization, does not address with sufficient time and detail the knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer. Today, excellent clinical practice is inconceivable without knowledge of the molecular basis of the disease.

State-of-the-art clinical practice

Diagnosis, prognosis and treatment based on the patient’s molecular pattern allows for state-of-the-art clinical practice. New therapeutic strategies are based on specific inhibitors of molecular targets, or on blocking or activating certain pathways. It is essential to provide training that allows professionals to learn about the molecular basis of cancer and patients to benefit from this knowledge.

Research Advances

Oncology in the 21st century is based on advances in research. Only a common translational research effort can bring these advances to the patient’s bedside. Research and training are the essential tools to address cancer in daily clinical practice. If any one of them is missing, the approach to the patient will not be correct.

Research Advances

Credits 60 ECTS

It will be completed in one year and consists of twelve compulsory subjects.

In the first semester, basic knowledge about oncology and molecular pathology will be acquired, and the foundations of research methodology in molecular oncology will be established.
