Pneumology
"The cost of early detection programmes with a chest CT would not be excessive for society, given that early treatment of lung cancer is much cheaper than in its advanced stages".
DR. LUIS SEIJO DIRECTOR. PNEUMOLOGY DEPARTMENT
The Pneumology Department has more than 15 years of experience in smoking cessation and early detection of lung cancer programmes.
Trained in leading centres around the world, including centres in the United States, our specialists have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of all respiratory diseases, both common and less frequent.
These include lung nodule management, interstitial lung disease and advanced diagnostic endoscopic techniques. Furthermore, in a multidisciplinary way, they are part of the Sports Medicine Area.
The Pneumology Department has been accredited as a Basic Asthma Unit by the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR).
Medical care is linked to the work of the Nursing team, which administers the necessary care, monitors and assesses the evolution of the patients in order to provide maximum quality.
We are pioneers in the early detection of lung cancer, as a result of various research projects. Thus, research and teaching are the other two pillars.

Our professionals will provide you with a medical evaluation without you having to leave your home.

Domingo
Prostate cancer recurrence
"I found out I had cancer thanks to a routine blood test. There may be a lot of people who have the same problem as me, who have a tumor and don't notice it.
I have regained the sense of security I had lost. I feel very good.
Harriet
Proton therapy for your esophageal cancer
In her 80s, Harriet traveled from Toronto to Madrid to be treated for esophageal cancer.
After the diagnosis in her hometown, Harriet and her family sought a second opinion that would offer a more appropriate treatment for her disease. Thus, they came to the Clínica Universidad de Navarra to receive proton therapy.

"There are limitations but with desire, they are replaced. With this new medication for my hives I can lead a practically normal life.
I do not give importance to the disease, I have it and sometimes it bothers me but I do not give more value to it than to my life.
