Oncology
A STRATEGIC LINE FOR THE CARE OF PEOPLE
PRESENTATION
One in four people die from cancer and, if the global population is considered, it is already the leading cause of death. And despite the enormous advances made in recent decades, a significant proportion of cancer patients do not benefit from the therapeutic strategies currently available. At the same time, there is a group of tumors for which current treatments are not effective.
With almost five decades of tradition in clinical attendance to oncology patients and preclinical, translational and clinical research in cancer, the University of Navarra started in 2017 the development of the Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CCUN) with the goal to contribute more decisively to overcome this disease.
WHAT IS THE CANCER CENTER?
The Cancer Center Clínica Universidad de Navarra (CCUN) is the oncology center of the University of Navarra that integrates - in its two sites in Pamplona and Madrid - the healthcare, research and professor activities of the University of Navarra as a whole. It began its journey in 2017 as a joint initiative of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra, the Cima University of Navarra and the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Science, Pharmacy and the Tecnun School of Engineering, although they reflect the evolution of more than 50 years of experience in cancer at our university.
As a Cancer Center, the CCUN makes a firm commitment to innovation in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer through solid multidisciplinary teams that develop a cutting-edge research , clinical trials and treatments based on the latest technology and evidence available.
As a fundamental part of its mission statement, the CCUN carries out an intense activity of training and training of health professionals and biomedical researchers.
