INTRODUCTION AND GOALS
The Molecular Oncology Master – MOM, is a training program for clinical oncologists, pathologists, hematologists and other medical specialists or biomedical graduated students from fields associated with tumor disease.
The MOM is a unique initiative in the world, with more than 100 exceptional professors carefully selected at national and international level. Among MOM’s faculty are the higher exponents of molecular oncology discoveries and the authors of the content they teach.
The MOM program is offered by the Centro de Estudios Biosanitarios (CEB) (Biosciences Studies Centre) and has the recommendation of the European School of Oncology (ESO – you can visit www.cancerworld.net too). It also has the scientific support of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology (SEOM) and Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH).

The MOM provides training in Molecular Oncology based on a multidisciplinary approach of tumor disease, which has a positive effect in care intervention.
The student will have access to basic knowledge about the origin and development of cancers, the methodology of basic research and clinical oncology, known patterns of phenotypic expression of tumors as well as other therapeutic approaches based on molecular pathways involved in carcinogenesis .
With this program you will receive a cutting-edge training for oncology specialists in the twenty-first century. Nowadays, a clinical practice of excellence cannot be conceived without a profound knowledge of the molecular basis of the disease and without a proper diagnosis, prognosis and treatment based on each patient molecular markers.

Why doing a Molecular Oncology Master?
ADVANCED TRAINING
Read more
The training received by specialists linked to the oncological disease during the Bachelor of Medicine and subsequent specialization, does not delve deeper and in detail on the knowledge of the molecular basis of cancer. Today, a clinical practice of excellence cannot be conceived without the knowledge of the molecular basis of the disease.
LEADING CLINICAL PRACTICE
Read more
Diagnosis, prognosis and treatment based on the molecular pattern of the patient allows cutting-edge clinical practice. New therapeutic strategies are based on specific molecular targets inhibitors, or in blocking or activating certain routes. It is imperative a specialized training that allows professionals to deepen in the molecular basis of cancer and at the same time patients benefit from this knowledge.
ADVANCES IN RESEARCH
Read more
Oncology from XXIst century is based on the progress of investigation. Only a joint translational research effort can bring these advances to patients. Research and training are essential tools to address cancer in daily clinical practice. Both approaches are needed for a correct patient treatment.

MODULES
MODULE I
CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF CANCER
(September 2019 – December 2019)
This module will cover the basic knowledge of cell biology and mechanisms flag of gene regulation, and changes caused by malignant transformation.
Read more
Molecular Processes will be reviewed, including genes controlling cell proliferation and biological activity of the main proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and the Implications of tampering. Also study the importance of the repair of genetic damage and mutator route in carcinogenesis, the basis of the processes of apoptosis, cellular senescence and immortalization, stem cells, angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis and tumor immunology.
Main subjects:
1. Cell, genes, and regulation of gene expression .
2. Proto-oncogenes and oncogenes.
3. Tumor suppressors genes .
4. Cellular Processes involved in Carcinogenesis .
MODULE II
MOLECULAR PATHOLOGY

2. FamilyCancer.
3. Pharmacology and antitumoral agents .
4. More treatment strategies .
5. Clinical research methodology.
MODULE IV
RESEARCH PROJECT
Students will perform a research project which may consist of conducting a research project developed in laboratories and / or hospitals, or in a literature review on a topic of antitumor therapies allowing interest in…

EVALUATION
Read more
At the end of each of the three theoretical modules, students perform a multiple choice test exam through the e-learning platform.
It is mandatory to approve the three tests independently to obtain the degree of Molecular Oncology Master. Passing the three exams, the arithmetic mean of the scores will account for 70% of the final grade. The remaining 30% will be the mark obtained in the research report that the student must perform.
