Mammary Pathology
"The oncoplastic techniques are aimed at the complete removal of the breast tumour with negative margins and the breast remodelling in order to achieve the best possible aesthetic result".
DR. ISABEL RUBIO RODRÍGUEZ DIRECTOR. MAMMARY PATHOLOGY AREA
The Clinic is the most advanced private hospital in Spain, with all its technological equipment housed in the same centre. For this reason, the Breast Pathology Area is able to perform the diagnosis and treatment plan in one week.
Surgery is a common treatment for breast cancer and, whenever possible, we aim to preserve the breast (75% of cases) and avoid dissection of the axillary nodes using the sentinel node biopsy technique (80% of cases). If possible, hidden scars or oncoplastic surgery are performed.
We perform risk reduction surgery through bilateral mastectomy with conservation of skin, areola and nipple and immediate breast reconstruction, indicated in healthy patients but with high risk of suffering from breast cancer (BRCA mutations, variegated family history of breast and/or ovarian tumours, risk breast lesions, etc.)
Patients are treated within a multidisciplinary programme that combines surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and new molecular targets. Among the most noteworthy are neoadjuvant chemotherapy (before surgery) which allows for more conservative surgery, accelerated partial irradiation with brachytherapy (which reduces the 6-week, 5-day radiotherapy sessions), intraoperative radiotherapy (at the time of surgery), treatments with personalized vaccines and genetic risk studies, among others.

Rosi
Hereditary breast cancer
"There were several cases of breast cancer in my family. I had a genetic test to see if I carried the BRCA gene.
When I tested positive, I decided to have a bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. For me it has been night and day, I am another.
Pilar
Breast Cancer
"They treated me for breast cancer so fast I didn't even know it.
After surgery to remove the tumor, they placed the catheters and within 5 days gave me all the radiation therapy sessions I needed.
Beatriz
Breast cancer during pregnancy
"It's hard but I think it's harder when you have no hope. It was very important that I was given a choice to fight for both my health and my son's life. He is my driving force.
La Clínica has given me the possibility of surviving and having my son. That is what la Clínica is for me, life.
Merche

"I didn't know if I could handle it all, you don't know what you're going for until it happens to you. Because of the breast cancer, I had to have a bilateral mastectomy.
I have a wonderful husband and a son who is my future. I love life, I still have a lot to do with them. And I will.
