Mentions and Modules
The Expert Degree in Immuno-Oncology offered by the School of Medicine of the University of Navarra in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb consists of two mentions:
-
Specialisation in Haematological Neoplasms. The main aim of goal is to provide haematology specialists with specific additional training in new advances in the treatment of haematological neoplasms with monoclonal antibodies, adoptive cell therapy and other advanced therapies.
-
Specialisation in Solid Tumours. The main aim of goal is to provide the specialist in Medical Oncology with specific additional training on new advances in the treatment of solid tumours with monoclonal antibodies, adoptive cell therapy and other advanced therapies.
