Why the
Cancer Center
With more than 8,600 patients treated per year, the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra has accumulated more than 40 years of experience at the forefront of personalized medicine applied to cancer.
The Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CCUN) is the oncology center of the University of Navarra that integrates, in its two sites in Pamplona and Madrid, the healthcare, research and teaching activities of the University of Navarra as a whole.
It began its journey in 2017 as a joint initiative of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra, the Cima University of Navarra and the Faculties of Medicine, Nursing, Science, Pharmacy and the Tecnun School of Engineering, although they reflect the evolution of more than 40 years of experience in cancer at our University.
Its mission is to integrate, coordinate and promote medical care, research and training in oncology through a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to cancer in order to:
- Offer an excellent clinical practice that puts the patient, and his or her family, at the center of all activity.
- Provide new knowledge that contributes to overcoming this disease.
- To train new generations of professionals with the most advanced medical and scientific knowledge and a marked spirit of service.

OUR VISION
A comprehensive and multidisciplinary view of cancer
We aspire to transform society by curing cancer through care centered on the dignity of the individual and the generation and dissemination of scientific knowledge.
To this end, we are developing a Comprehensive Cancer Center with two sites, Pamplona and Madrid, which will be a reference in Europe and the world in cancer patient care and oncology research.
Our values
Interdisciplinary
The practice of medicine, particularly oncology, cannot be understood without a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, based on close collaboration between professionals from different specialties and from different health professions and scientific specialties. This conviction is nurtured and reinforced in a natural way by being integrated in a great university center: the Universidad de Navarra.
Individualized treatment
We offer personalized medicine, which addresses the specific and individual needs of each patient, both in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. For this purpose, we provide you with the most advanced knowledge and technology.
Comprehensive care
The close accompaniment of patients and their families, and the respect and care based on their personal dignity, is a hallmark of our center's foundational and distinctive identity. This attention, based on a transcendent vision of the human being and on the unique value of each life, is possible thanks to the irreplaceable leadership of the Nursing specialized in Oncology that characterizes the Clinica and the Universidad.
Research
High-level research gives our patients access to the most advanced clinical knowledge. Basic and translational research brings together physicians and researchers to bring the best results obtained in the laboratory to the patient. Through clinical trials, we offer new possibilities and therapeutic advances.
Innovation
As a non-profit organization, all surpluses are reinvested in improving technological equipment and research. This commitment to innovation in diagnostic and therapeutic technology has enabled the Cancer Center to be a pioneer in the creation of a PET unit with radiopharmaceutical production and in the start-up of one of the first and most advanced proton therapy units in Europe.
Internationality
The Cancer Center is a project that, like the Clínica Universidad de Navarra and the Universidad de Navarra, has been open to the world since its inception. The desire to serve our patients knows no borders; and our scientific knowledge, developed in many cases in collaboration with prestigious centers, has a global impact.
