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.
