• • Individualized diagnosis and treatment, incorporating all of the options and including the genetic profile of your tumor – Assuring that the most effective treatment against cancer is chosen.

 

• Integrated and multidisciplinary focus in each oncological treatment.

 
 

Experience in assistance and innovation

The Oncology Unit at HC Marbella led by Dr. Hernán Cortés-Funes, has more than 25 years of experience in the care of cancer patients and we continue to advance and grow in order to care for our patients. They are our greatest motivation each day.

 

We are a reference unit for Costa del Sol and we work towards being a center of excellence. Our permanent relationship with state-of-the-art national and international reference centers make possible the access to many different innovative techniques for the treatment of different tumors and makes it possible to work together with fundamental research centers.

 

The unit forms part of the general and surgical hospital with more than 30 areas of specialty, in order that the Oncological Unit at HC Marbella is able to guarantee the patient complete attention and maximum security.

 

The goal at HC is to give excellent care, apply recent innovations against cancer and incorporate new technologies, as much in the diagnosis, as in immunotherapy, including radiation treatment during 2018.

 
 

A national and international team

The medical team at HC Marbella is made up of experts, selected from the most prestigious specialists. The tight collaboration between them, is one of our strong points and allows us to offer our patients the best attention available, since all of those efforts are in order to provide the most effective strategies to prevent, control, and even, when possible, cure cancer. Furthermore, we intend to help you live with it and face it in every moment, from the beginning.

 

The Oncology Unit at HC also makes national and international consultants available that work and collaborate as active members of the team.

 
 

…Many viewpoints

The doctors at HC Marbella deal with ever case that is analyzed and discussed in a committee, made up of various specialists that study it and suggests the best alternative therapies possible.

 

At HC, therapeutic decisions are not made based on a single opinion, but instead are discussed and checked between doctors of various specialties, if necessary. This allows for better attention with the best alternative treatments for each patient.

 
 

… and there are not only doctors on our team

From the moment the patient enters the hospital they can refer to the Oncological Nurses. They are usually the members of the treatment team with which patients have the most contact, making them the main point of reference for their care, increasing the patient’s feeling of security and self-esteem. The human relationship, knowledge, and expertise from the nursing staff are extraordinary and will accompany each step of the patient’s experience. HC has always been famous for “their nursing team”.

 

At HC we count on a hospital pharmacist that is specialized in cancer treatments, certified by the American Society for Hospital Pharmacists that actively participates as a part of our multidisciplinary team when making treatment decisions, contributing an additional view on possible interactions with other medicines and preventing adverse reactions related to medication. In turn, the pharmacist supervises the preparation and administration of medication which allows adherence to maximum quality standards.

 
 

The best treatment possible, especially designed for you.

A team that is dedicated to meeting your specific needs
