About Course

The Basics of Multidisciplinary Care in Oncology course was designed so that health professionals involved in caring for cancer patients can share their knowledge with ICESP professionals.

In addition, ICESP specialists will also share knowledge and experiences related to oncology, presenting the current scenario and future perspectives, which are essential for those who are in charge of assisting cancer patients in all phases of treatment.

Among the topics covered in the course discussions are: Cancer Epidemiology; Oncogenesis; Heredity; Oncological treatment modalities (chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery); Management of the main signs and symptoms; Multidisciplinary assistance in oncology (psychological and social aspects, rehabilitation in oncology and nutritional therapy).

At the end of the course, students will be up to date and will have shared diverse experiences regarding the experience of professionals recognized by the Hospital das Clínicas of the USP School of Medicine who are at the forefront of oncological treatments, as well as the particularities of each patient and the conduct of treatments and care.
