Endoscopy
Unit
Aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies associated with the digestive system, we have extensive experience in endoscopic techniques for exploring the digestive tract.
We are pioneers in the use of certain procedures such as the application of CO2 in the performance of colonoscopy.
High Risk Digestive Tumour Prevention and Consultation Unit
Our goal is to determine the risk of contracting the tumoural disease in families of patients, as well as to ensure the appropriate follow-up to prevent them from suffering from it.
By means of genetic studies, we can treat the patient in a personalised manner and foresee the risk of illness for him/her and his/her family members.

Their testimonies encourage us to continue improving our services
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.
Jose
Essential Tremor
"You feel more like a person, I'm a little out of practice because I couldn't write, but it's a joy and a surprise. It's been fabulous.
I recommend that you come here because the most important thing in life is to feel good.
Inmaculada
Chronic Urticaria
"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.
