Oncology Hospital :: Introduction
OncoCenter for the treatment and research of Cancer Diseases
Hernan Cortés-Funes
The Oncology Centre at HCIH was born with the ambition to become a centre of reference, excellence and quality.
Since its creation in Madrid in 1992, Oncocenter has been developed gradually to be able to offer at the present time the attendance in more sophisticated ambulatory regime from the clinical-therapeutic point of view. Today, at HCIH, with the integration within the general and surgical Hospital, HCIH and the Oncology Unit can guarantee the integral attendance to the patient and we can structure the treatment of the cancer.
The guiding principle at HCIH is to offer the most effective treatment and the highest quality of care for people with cancer. For that, our activity is based on three fundamental aspects:
Cancer patient care: Focus on the Patient
Communication between patient and caregivers is an important priority at HC.
The cancer patient requires special treatment. We feel it is important to adopt a permanent communication with the patient. We work to earn the confidence and respect of those who we directly serve – our patients and their families.
Multidisciplinary approach to care… against cancer
Multidiscipline is the best guarantee that the cancer patient receives the most effective and advisable treatment. The combination of knowledge and experience of all the specialists allows us to offer the patient the best alternative.
Our clinicians work together in interdisciplinary teams to care for the whole person while providing the most advanced treatments.
HCIH teams are integrated by:

Objective: maximize your chances for the best possible outcome.
Expertise, investigation and innovation
Our treatments are based on discoveries from the investigation against cancer, guaranteeing the patient access to the scientific and technological advances, to more appropriate innovators and individual cases.
HC Oncology Hospital maintains an agreement of affiliation with the most important cancer centres in the U.S.A., Europe and Madrid, following the therapeutic lines of vanguard of the specialty. For this we counted on an establishment of our own specialists as well as collaborating externally.
