Programme Description
Sinology is a branch of medicine dedicated to the comprehensive and integrative study of the normal and pathological breast, with a humanistic approach. Sinology, and particularly breast pathology, has evolved over the years, incorporating new knowledge and new professional specialisations to carry out the diagnostic and integrative treatment process of the patient and their environment, both for the normal breast and the pathological one. To ensure a holistic approach, Breast Pathology Units (BPUs) have been created, formed by multidisciplinary teams. Nursing has increasingly been integrated into these breast units, acting as a reference and liaison among the various professionals involved. Due to their position within hospital organisational structures, nurses take on the role of case managers throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process, which creates the need to acquire theoretical knowledge and specialised practical skills in sinology and breast pathology.
The training of nurses in sinology care, and especially in breast cancer, has become a common and essential practice in European countries.
This master's degree aims to train professionals in the competencies, knowledge and technical skills required to meet European standards and respond to the needs of patients.
