Why do patients go to University Hospital Quironsalud Madrid for treatment?

• Powerful technologies. Among the advanced devices: 2 CT scanners with ultra-low radiation, 1 da Vinci Surgical System for operations through small punctures, 2 linear accelerators for precise tumor irradiation, 1 PET/CT scanner, 3 MRI machines.
• Personalized nutrition. A hospital's team designs an individual menu for patients who have medical indications. People with colorectal cancer or after a bowel resection are fed intravenously.
• Leadership. Doctors carry out the largest number of bone marrow transplants among private hospitals in Spain.

Cancer treatment 

Department oncologists treat all cancer diagnoses. They individually select the methods of therapy and/or surgery to destroy the tumor and preserve the utmost of patient's quality of life.

Treatment with medications

The hospital provides treatment with the latest cancer drugs. Doctors carry out chemo-, targeted, and immunotherapy. Targeted drugs detect malignant among healthy ones and attack them. This approach reduces side effects compared with standard chemotherapy. Immunodrugs boost the immune system, and the body fights with the neoplasm by itself.

Tumor radiation

Oncologists carry out radiation therapy with the True Beam device. It adjusts the beam to the size and shape of the tumor, and the procedure doesn't affect healthy tissues.

Oncosurgery

Quiron Madrid surgeons specialize in the removal of tumors in the breast, urogenital system, stomach, intestines. The treating physician selects the most gentle method of surgery to remove the tumor and, if possible, preserve the organ.

Oncological surgeons use the Da Vinci robot, the most advanced surgical system for now. It removes the formation through several small punctures up to 1 cm (which is equal to a pencil diameter). After this operation, the patient recovers faster and easier in comparison with open surgery.

Heart surgery

The department specializes in heart valve surgery, coronary artery bypass grafting, valve-sparing aortic root replacement.

Coronary artery bypass grafting

80% of the procedures are beating-heart coronary artery bypass surgery.

Surgeons provide surgery without artificial circulation. A doctor performs the intervention and doesn't use a special heart-lung tool for pumping blood. This approach allows avoiding complications related to blood coagulation.

Valve sparing aortic root replacement (David procedure)

This method aims to treat aortic root aneurysms. It allows saving the patient's aortic valve with replacing the impaired root and has reduced risk of stroke.

The Quirónsalud Madrid heart surgery team has provided the highest number of surgeries in Spain according to the hospital data.

Safe surgeries

• Based on medical necessity, doctors remove the malignant tumors in patients who remain conscious. This way of surgery prevents damage to speech, auditory, and visual functions. 
• Skull and brain have no nerve endings which are located in the skin. Skin is previously anesthetized. And the surgery is painless for a person.
