Clínica Universidad de Navarra: Excellence in Personalised Healthcare
The Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CUN), located in Pamplona and Madrid, is an international benchmark in delivering personalised medical care, cutting-edge technology, and a multidisciplinary approach. With over 50 medical departments and 10 specialised units, CUN combines clinical practice with advanced research and education, ensuring fast and accurate diagnoses — often in under 48 hours.
Oncology: Comprehensive and Innovative Cancer Care
CUN’s Cancer Centre leads in the field of oncology with a holistic approach that integrates personalised medicine, state-of-the-art technology, and multidisciplinary teams of specialists. Its goal is to offer complete care to cancer patients and their families, blending clinical excellence with compassionate attention.
Key Features:
- Advanced Diagnostic and Treatment Technology:
Cutting-edge equipment, including the MR Linac — a radiotherapy system that integrates a 1.5 Tesla MRI with a linear accelerator, allowing real-time imaging and adaptive treatments.
- Proton Therapy:
CUN hosts Europe’s most advanced Proton Therapy Unit, providing high-precision treatments that preserve surrounding healthy tissue — particularly critical for paediatric tumours and cancers in sensitive areas.
- Immunotherapy and Advanced Cellular Therapies:
With over two decades of experience, the clinic develops and applies innovative cellular therapies and immunotherapies, incorporating clinical trials that significantly improve outcomes in resistant tumours.
- Multidisciplinary Teams:
Collaboration between oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and specialist nurses ensures a personalised treatment plan, with diagnosis and treatment — in some cases — starting in less than 48 hours.
- International Recognition:
CUN has been ranked among the world’s top 40 oncology centres and is Spain’s leading private hospital according to Newsweek’s World’s Best Hospitals ranking.
Neurology: Advanced Treatments for Parkinson’s Disease
CUN’s Department of Neurology offers comprehensive care for patients with Parkinson’s disease, combining medical and surgical approaches tailored to each individual.
Treatment Options:
- High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU):
A non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to treat specific brain areas, effectively reducing tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia, with minimal recovery time and immediate results.
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS):
In advanced cases, electrode implantation in specific brain regions modulates abnormal impulses. CUN is a pioneer in this technique, using intraoperative 3T MRI for superior precision.
- Ongoing Research:
In partnership with CIMA – the Centre for Applied Medical Research at the University of Navarra, the clinic leads research projects to identify new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for early diagnosis and disease progression monitoring.
