Ovarian cancer Treatment in Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital
About the clinic
Ovarian cancer treatment at Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital in Madrid, Spain, focuses on advanced surgical and medical protocols. The facility holds JCI and FACS accreditations, showing its commitment to international healthcare standards. This hospital uses the Da Vinci 5 robotic system for precise surgeries and offers specialized HIPEC therapy for advanced cases.
Dr. François Quenet leads the oncological surgery department. Dr. Quenet specializes in advanced peritoneal oncological surgery. A multidisciplinary team supports the treatment process. This team includes experts in medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiotherapy. They coordinate care for each patient to address complex cancer stages.
Advanced surgical options
The clinic provides several surgical methods to remove tumors and manage the disease. Surgeons use the Da Vinci 5 robot for minimally invasive procedures. This technology helps with precision removal and nerve-sparing techniques. For patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, the hospital offers hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). During this procedure, heated chemotherapy is delivered directly to the abdomen after the surgical removal of tumors.
Medical oncology and systemic therapy
Medical teams design systemic therapy plans based on the molecular profile of the cancer. These treatments target specific cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue. Options include:
- Chemotherapy. Drugs are used to stop the growth of cancer cells throughout the body.
- Targeted therapies. This includes PARP inhibitors for molecularly defined ovarian cancer.
- Immunotherapy. This method helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
- Hormone therapy. These treatments block hormones that help certain types of cancer grow.
Diagnostic and patient services
Accurate staging is performed using high-resolution imaging. The hospital uses PET-CT with Gallium 68 to locate cancer spread. International patients receive help with visas, local accommodation, and transfers. This support makes the medical journey smoother for those traveling to Pozuelo de Alarcón for care. The specialized ovarian cancer unit oversees all parts of the treatment plan, from initial testing to recovery.

Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital: more details about the clinic
Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital is a private multi-specialty hospital in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid. It opened in 2005 and operates from a single building with six specialized departments. The facility combines high-precision care with advanced technology and a patient-centered approach. Its infrastructure represents an investment of over 100 million euros.
Accreditations and Achievements
The hospital holds several international certifications for safety and quality. These include Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation and Leading Hospitals recognition. The clinical team also maintains affiliations with specialized bodies:
- ESHRE – European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology
- FACS – American College of Surgeons
- ASPS – American Society of Plastic Surgeons
In May 2026, the hospital celebrated its official inauguration presided over by Her Royal Highness the Infanta Doña Elena. A dedicated ward was named in her honor. The facility also reached key milestones – its first robotic knee prosthesis surgery and first percutaneous left atrial appendage closure.
Specialties and Specialized Units
The hospital provides advanced care through units for cardiology, neurosurgery, neurology, oncology, and orthopedics. Each department has sub-specialized teams for complex chronic and acute conditions. Specialists focus on minimally invasive methods and real-time monitoring.
Cardiovascular Care
The cardiovascular department includes the Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Unit and the Electrophysiology and Arrhythmias Unit. Dr. Felipe Hernández Hernández focuses on complex coronary and structural heart diseases. The team performs advanced procedures:
- TAVI – replacing a heart valve via catheter
- Percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage
- Stent implantation for coronary artery disease
- Catheter-based ablation for arrhythmias
The hospital uses a hybrid operating room, so surgeons can perform both interventional and open-heart procedures in one space. This setup increases safety during complex structural heart repairs.
Neurosurgery and Neurology
The neurosurgery department treats conditions of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. Dr. Fernando Ruiz Juretschke and Dr. Roberto García Leal specialize in skull base microsurgery and neurovascular procedures. The department runs specialized sub-units:
- Comprehensive Spine Care Unit – treats disc herniation and spinal stenosis
- Skull Base Microsurgery Unit – uses 3D planning for deep brain lesions
- Functional Onco-Surgery Unit – performs awake brain surgery
When tumors sit in sensitive brain areas, surgeons use cortical mapping and neurophysiological monitoring. This lets them remove maximum tumor tissue while preserving speech and mobility.
Oncology and Specialized Surgery
Oncology services split between Medical Oncology for systemic therapies and the Oncological Surgery Department. Dr. François Quenet leads the surgical oncology team, which handles high-complexity cancer cases. Treatment options include:
- HIPEC – heated chemotherapy delivered directly to the abdomen
- Targeted therapies using PARP inhibitors for ovarian cancer
- Image-guided interventional oncology
- Radiosurgery for brain tumors
The Digestive Tumors Unit uses a multidisciplinary approach to sequence treatments for stomach and esophageal cancers. Surgeons also provide maxillofacial oncology with 3D planning for reconstruction.
Orthopedics and Traumatology
The orthopedics department features a Knee Unit and a hip program focused on rapid recovery. Dr. Carlos Encinas leads the Knee Unit, where surgeons performed the hospital's first robot-assisted prosthesis surgery.
The hip program uses a minimally invasive anterior approach for replacements. This technique confirms implant position with intraoperative X-rays – without cutting major muscles.
Medical Equipment and Diagnostic Technology
The hospital's infrastructure includes the Da Vinci 5 surgical robot. This system enables high-precision operations in urology, gynecology, and general surgery. A full imaging suite supports diagnostic accuracy:
- PET-CT with Gallium 68 – for precise neuroendocrine tumor imaging
- High-definition MRI and CT scanners
- Digital mammography and scintigraphy
- Polysomnography for sleep disorder diagnosis
Services for International Patients
Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital has a dedicated international patient team to coordinate care for travelers. Staff assist from the first remote consultation through post-treatment follow-up. Support services include:
- Guidance for medical visas and accommodation
- Airport and hotel transfers
- Interpreter services in Spanish and English
- Online follow-up consultations and recovery monitoring
The hospital requires a review of medical records before arrival, so patients must submit reports in English or Spanish. After returning home, patients receive structured recommendations and ongoing support through digital channels.
