Breast Cancer
"Breast cancer patients treated in multidisciplinary units with access to the most optimal and innovative diagnostics and treatments have better breast cancer survival."
DR. ISABEL RUBIO RODRÍGUEZ COORDINATOR. BREAST CANCER AREA
The multidisciplinary team of the Breast Cancer Area of the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra is equipped with the most innovative technology to offer an accurate integral diagnosis of this disease.
Within a week the patient will have the results of all the tests to start her personalized treatment.
Highly qualified specialists in oncoplastic surgery and breast reconstruction techniques staff the area. They are in charge of the administration of modern therapies, such as immunotherapy, and in pioneering treatments to improve the patient's quality of life, such as accelerated partial irradiation, a pioneering procedure in Spain with brachytherapy that reduces the administration of radiotherapy to five days, instead of the usual twenty-five days.
The Breast Cancer Area is the first Spanish hospital to have the highest European quality certification based on the criteria established by the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA).

Rosi
Hereditary breast cancer
"There were several cases of breast cancer in my family. I had a genetic test to see if I carried the BRCA gene.
When I tested positive, I decided to have a bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. For me it has been night and day, I am another.
Pilar
Breast Cancer
"They treated me for breast cancer so fast I didn't even know it.
After surgery to remove the tumor, they placed the catheters and within 5 days gave me all the radiation therapy sessions I needed.
Beatriz
Breast cancer during pregnancy
"It's hard but I think it's harder when you have no hope. It was very important that I was given a choice to fight for both my health and my son's life. He is my driving force.
La Clínica has given me the possibility of surviving and having my son. That is what la Clínica is for me, life.
Merche

"I didn't know if I could handle it all, you don't know what you're going for until it happens to you. Because of the breast cancer, I had to have a bilateral mastectomy.
I have a wonderful husband and a son who is my future. I love life, I still have a lot to do with them. And I will.
