MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid was founded in the year 2000 as the only subsidiary of the most prestigious cancer center in the world: MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. At the present time, MD Anderson Madrid is the only subsidiary that operates in Europe. MD Anderson Madrid is currently a center of reference and excellence for the treatment of cancer in Spain and Europe thanks to a team of highly specialized professionals, to the current facilities and to the continuous and close collaboration with MD Anderson in Houston. In addition, MD Anderson Madrid, like its partner institution in Houston, understands as a differential value for its patients the medical care of excellence based on research. Therefore, it has renowned researchers of international stature. Research applied to cancer is essential to achieving new and better diagnoses and treatments, as well as to improve the quality of life of patients with cancer. In addition, access to leading clinical trials is a fundamental added value of this center. Another distinguishing feature of MD Anderson Madrid is the multidisciplinary nature of its medical team, which also considers the human factor as fundamental in the treatment of cancer. The personalized attention to the patient and their environment goes beyond offering a medical service of the highest quality - it also has to do with the involvement of all the team that works for and on behalf of the patient.
