The Medical Oncology service of the Hospital Miguel Servet of Zaragoza turns 25, a time in which this department has expanded to deal with a pathology that continues to increase but before which specialists have more and more tools in the therapeutic offer. "This is thanks to the growing knowledge of the tumor", says Dr. Antonio Antón, head of this service. The key to this specialist is in improving knowledge of the molecular biology of cancer that has allowed specialists to have therapeutic alternatives that they did not have before. "In the end, we are personalizing the treatment to give the best we have to those patients who need it" he concludes.

Antón was the first oncologist to arrive at the Servetus when this section was separated from Internal Medicine with an incipient unit whose only resources were two hospital beds. Now, the service has 18 oncologists on staff and fifty nurses who attend the oncological pathology of a population of almost 700,000 inhabitants with four reference hospitals: the Alcañiz Hospital, the Hospital Nuestra Señora de Gracia, the Royo Villanova and its central core , the Servet. In addition, a benchmark for the Hospitals San Jorge of Huesca, Obispo Polanco de Teruel and the District of Barbastro.
