Gynecological Tumors Unit
What does the Unit treat?
The Gynecological Tumors Unit of HM CIOCC is a national reference unit, specialized in the treatment of ovarian carcinoma, uterine carcinoma, or cervical tumors.
At HM Hospitals (CIOCC), the Gynecological Tumors Unit focuses on:
- Development of clinical trials with innovative therapies for patients with ovarian carcinoma, uterine carcinoma, or cervical tumors.
- Treatment with TILs (Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes) for patients with gynecological tumors. A technique in which we extract the patient’s own immune cells, multiply them in the laboratory, and reinfuse them so that they naturally attack the tumor.

How do we approach it at HM Hospitals?
Surgery
We aim to remove as much of the tumor as possible, preserving the function of the reproductive organs to the maximum extent.
Chemotherapy
We use state-of-the-art medications to reach and destroy cancer cells that may be present anywhere in the body.
Radiotherapy
We direct high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
Targeted Therapies
They act on specific molecular targets of cancer cells, selectively disrupting their growth and spread.
Immunotherapy
Through drugs, we stimulate the patient’s immune system to naturally recognize and attack cancer cells.
TILs Treatment
We extract the patient’s own immune cells, multiply them in the laboratory, and reinfuse them so that they naturally attack the tumor.
