Harriet, from Toronto, proton therapy for esophageal cancer in the Clínica Universidad de Navarra

At the age of 80, Harriet traveled from Toronto to Madrid in order to be treated for esophageal cancer. After being diagnosed in her hometown, Harriet and her family sought a second opinion that would offer them a more appropriate treatment for her condition. For that reason, they came to the Clínica Universidad de Navarra to receive proton therapy.
"In a profile like Harriet's, in which she presents an advanced age and underlying diseases, surgical treatment can bring a greater risk of complications than protons, which are the best option", explains Dr. Javier Serrano , radiotherapy oncologist of the Proton therapy Unit of the Clinic.
