The Breast Cancer Unit of the Fundación Jiménez Díaz University Hospital aims to provide comprehensive, high-quality care to patients. Its work focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of breast diseases, with a multidisciplinary approach involving gynecologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, geneticists, radiologists, and specialized nursing staff. This close collaboration enables personalized care tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

A key pillar of the unit is the early detection of breast diseases through appropriate diagnostic studies, followed by monitoring protocols that take into account factors such as age, family history, and individual risk. The unit also emphasizes treatment individualization, relying on national and international protocols and guidelines, as well as on the study of the molecular and genomic profiles of tumors. This strategy allows for the selection of targeted and immunological therapies that are more effective and less toxic, adapted to each patient's biological characteristics.

In addition, the unit promotes clinical research and regular updates of protocols, actively participating in the development of clinical trials and facilitating patient access to innovative treatments and therapeutic advances. All of this reinforces its commitment to cutting-edge care, focused not only on cure but also on improving patients’ quality of life.
