Early diagnosis

Detecting cancer at an early stage increases the possibility of overcoming it.

 

HC Marbella’s Radiology Unit has the latest-generation CT technology with specialised software for oncological diagnostic tests, which also includes screening tests for lung cancer that emit a low dose of radiation.

 

Numerous studies have shown that survival rates for breast cancer and colon cancer have increased in recent decades thanks to early diagnosis.

 

The early cancer detection services at HC Marbella mainly focus on:

 

Breast cancer screening
Colon cancer detection
Prostate cancer detection
Cervical cancer monitoring after an abnormal pap smear

After diagnosis

 

If the existence of a tumour or anomaly is confirmed, HC Marbella has you meet with the most appropriate specialist in order to choose your treatment options.

 

At the diagnostic level, HC Marbella has the capability to determine all the relevant biochemical and haematological profiles in its Analysis Laboratory. This allows us to determine a patient’s health status and identify the serum tumour markers that are used for patient stratification and follow-up.

 

We also have the capability of using Genetic Analysis Platforms to determine the genetic profiles of present and future tumours, whose study allows us to diagnose patients.

 

When it comes to imaging technology, we use all the major diagnostic imaging methods, such as the newest CT scanners with special software for the study of tumours, digital mammography, and several multi-dimensional ultrasound imaging technologies, among others. Our PET/CT scanner, which is the latest diagnostic imaging technology, enables the detection of lesions.
