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 Department of Pneumology has more than 15 years of experience in smoking cessation programs and early detection of lung cancer.
With training at leading centers worldwide, including institutions in the United States, our specialists have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating all respiratory diseases — both common and rare.
They manage conditions such as pulmonary nodules, interstitial lung disease, and advanced diagnostic endoscopic techniques. In addition, they participate in a multidisciplinary manner as part of the Sports Medicine Area.
The Department of Pneumology, located at our Pamplona campus, has been accredited as a Basic Asthma Unit and a Basic COPD Unit with Excellence by the Spanish Society of Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR).
We have a Pulmonary Function Laboratory equipped with cutting-edge technology for precise diagnosis, recently accredited by SEPAR as a Specialized Unit meeting Excellence Criteria.
Our medical care is supported by the work of our Nursing team, which provides essential care, monitors patient progress, and assesses outcomes to ensure the highest quality of care.
Two additional pillars of our department are research and teaching. As a result of several research projects, we are pioneers in the early detection of lung cancer.

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.

I recommend that you come here because the most important thing in life is to feel good.

"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.
