About the clinic

Diagnostics and Care Process
Before the procedure, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to plan the surgery. This process includes several diagnostic steps:
- Colonoscopy and biopsy to examine the rectal tissue
- MRI and CT scans to determine the stage of the condition
- Endorectal ultrasound for detailed imaging
- Blood tests to check for tumor markers
After the operation, the clinic provides follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Depending on the stage of the disease, some patients may need further therapy like radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The facility holds ISO 45001 certification, showing a commitment to high safety standards. International patients can start their journey with online consultations before traveling to Madrid for treatment.
