Radiotherapeutic Oncology
"The techniques applied in the Radiation Oncology at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra are of the latest generation and are currently only available in a few centres in Spain".
DR. FELIPE CALVO CODIRECTOR. RADIOTHERAPEUTIC ONCOLOGY DEPARTMENT
The Department of Radiotherapeutic Oncology has extensive experience in external and intensity-modulated radiotherapy. In addition, we apply various medical-surgical techniques of latest generation that are currently only present in few Spanish centres.
The Clinica has, at its headquarters in Madrid, the most advanced and first in-hospital Proton Therapy Unit based in a cancer centre, which offers all its healthcare, academic and research support and the services proper to a third level hospital.
At the Pamplona headquarters, the Radiotherapeutic Oncology department has incorporated the MR Linac, an advanced radiotherapy technology that combines a linear accelerator with an integrated 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system, with high diagnostic precision before, during and after treatment.
We are one of the international benchmarks in the performance of intraoperative implants and radiation treatment with high rate brachytherapy technique during the post-operative period. Moreover, we have one of the most extensive experiences worldwide in the treatment of intraoperative brachytherapy of head and neck tumours, soft tissue sarcomas and gynaecological tumours.
We use radiotherapy under stereotaxic conditions, which allows us to apply several treatment sessions under very high precision conditions.
A highly specialised nursing team provides comprehensive medical care through coordination, assistance, control and monitoring of the various symptoms and side effects.
The available technology and the experience of our professionals make the Radiation Oncology Department the best technologically equipped in Spain and one of the most advanced in Europe.

Proton Therapy
Unit
The Clinica has the most advanced Proton Therapy Unit in Europe at its headquarters in Madrid.
Proton therapy provides very promising results with minimal side effects in pediatric tumours, and those of the skull base, brain, head and neck.
It incorporates, for the first time in Europe, a Hitachi device, that is present in academic medical centres of international reference.
MR Linac
MRI-guided radiation therapy
MR Linac is an advanced radiotherapy technology that combines a linear accelerator with an integrated 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system, with high diagnostic accuracy before, during and after treatment.
MR Linac technology allows real-time adaptive radiotherapy to be administered, which adapts the dose and precision of the radiotherapy administered to the patient according to the specific characteristics of each person and each tumor.

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.

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.
