About the clinic

Colon cancer treatment at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, combines advanced surgical techniques with personalized care. An online consultation with a surgeon typically runs $200, while a laparoscopic colectomy may cost around $10,700 and HIPEC therapy is around $29,200. The clinic operates within the HLA Moncloa Hospital, which was recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals in 2023.

Advanced diagnostics and surgical options

Diagnosis at the clinic begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the tumor stage and location. Patients can access a full suite of diagnostic tools to plan their treatment. These include:

  • Online consultation. A remote session with a surgeon to discuss symptoms and medical history.
  • Colonoscopy with biopsy. A direct visual exam of the colon to take tissue samples for analysis.
  • Imaging scans. CT and MRI scans to assess if the cancer has spread.
  • Laboratory tests. Fecal occult blood tests and tumor marker analysis like CEA.

Minimally invasive and robotic surgery

Dr. César Lévano Linares leads the surgical team at Centro PAD. He is a specialist in colorectal surgery and holds a certification in robotic surgery from Intuitive. Dr. Lévano Linares is a member of the European Society of Coloproctology and earned his medical degree Cum Laude. The clinic focuses on methods that reduce pain and shorten recovery times.

  • Laparoscopic colectomy. This procedure costs around $10,700 and includes the surgeon fee, anesthesia, and the hospital stay. It uses small incisions and HD cameras to remove the affected part of the bowel.
  • Laparoscopic hemicolectomy. This resection of the large intestine typically costs around $11,200.
  • Da Vinci robotic colectomy. Using the Da Vinci X, Xi, or 5 systems, this surgery costs around $16,900. The robot provides 3D HD visualization and millimeter precision to protect surrounding nerves and tissue.
  • Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). For advanced cases, this combined therapy costs around $29,200. It involves removing visible tumors followed by applying heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen.

Most laparoscopic and robotic procedures require a hospital stay of 3 to 5 days. Patients generally return to their normal activities within 3 to 4 weeks. For more complex HIPEC procedures, the hospital stay is usually 5 to 7 days. You can request a personalized consultation and treatment plan through Bookimed.

Excellent professionals, both Dr. García Vasquez and Dr. Levano Linares and the rest of their team. The intervention, a robot-assisted colon cancer surgery, produced very satisfactory results. The humane treatment was unsurpassed, both in explaining what the robot-assisted procedure would entail, the expected (and subsequently successful) results, and the steps to follow once the procedure was performed. Of great personal and professional value. My deepest gratitude to both doctors and the rest of their team.
