Lung Cancer
"Performing an annual chest CT scan on people at risk helps to reduce lung cancer mortality".
DR. MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ PÉREZ COORDINATOR. LUNG CANCER AREA
The Lung Cancer Multidisciplinary Area of the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra has more than 15 years of experience in the multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic management of lung cancer and other thoracic neoplastic pathologies.
It is integrated by the various teams of specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of thoracic neoplasms including molecular biologists, basic and translational researchers, pathologists, radiologists, biochemists, nuclear medicine specialists, thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists, mainly.
The integration of new generation genomic studies with massive sequencing panels both in tissue and in liquid biopsy, allows the exhaustive characterization of the tumor and the selection of the best therapeutic options for each patient.
Among the therapeutic options available, together with the most advanced minimally invasive and robotic surgery techniques, we have the most advanced selective irradiation technology, including proton therapy, as well as the Central Clinical Trials Unit and the Advanced Therapies Unit.

Immunotherapy for lung cancer
We have a great deal of experience in managing the most innovative therapies for the treatment of lung cancer.
Videothoracoscopic Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery by which it is possible to visualise and operate inside the chest through minimal 1-2 cm incisions in the chest wall.
Combined treatment
We seek to improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy through its use in combination with other drugs or treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

PREVENTION AND PERSONALIZED TREATMENT
Comprehensive patient care
The objective of the Lung Cancer Area of the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra is to offer the patient the vision and the joint and integrated work of the different specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. We work together in order to ensure the rapid resolution of your problem.
Early detection
In our annual low-dose radiation CT early detection programme, 85% of lung cancers detected are at stage I, with a high probability of cure.
Liquid biopsy
With a blood test we detect the specific genetic mutations of the tumour and establish a specific treatment that is more effective and less toxic.
Cutting-edge technology
We have the most advanced technology for the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. We have the Da Vinci® robot to perform, in the indicated cases, a precision approach.
Why choose the Clinic?
- Integral evaluation of the patient.
- Possibility of starting personalised treatment 48 hours after the first consultation.
- Minimally invasive surgery for the rapid recovery of our patients.
- Our team of professionals.

Research into
lung cancer
The Lung Cancer Area has several clinical trials underway at different stages of the disease with the aim of achieving treatments that are more effective.
Participation in these trials provides patients with new possibilities by allowing access to the latest therapeutic advances.
We help our patients to overcome their stories
Their testimonies encourage us to continue improving our services
Mª Teresa y Carlos
Together in Cancer
First she suffered it and years later, it was he who received the hard blow. Although Carlos acknowledges that his life had already changed when his wife, Maria Teresa, was diagnosed with cancer.
This couple from Madrid has suffered and fought together, and together they have beaten cancer at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra.
Sven
Multiple Myeloma
"The humane treatment I have received has always been outstanding.
Before the illness I lived too much in the future and less in the present, but we must change: live the present and still have many dreams to fulfill.
Melanie
Gynecological Cancer
"Here they gave us a plan of action immediately. While I had discussed with the doctors my fears and what I wanted to do, which was to start as soon as possible and they agreed with me.
Now what I want is to live my life, enjoy my family and my work, travel and do everything I was meant to do.
Amaia
Prevention of colon cancer
"There had always been a lot of cancer in my family. We discovered Lynch syndrome by chance.
Lives are saved by information. My brother is no longer here and we could have known in time.
