LEARN MORECancer Pathologies
Cancer pathologies are the different types of malignant tumors and oncological diseases that can affect different organs and tissues of the body, each with specific characteristics, symptoms, and treatments. At Quenet-Torrent Institute, we especially address advanced and metastatic cancer pathologies that require highly complex surgical techniques.
What are cancer pathologies?
- Cancer pathologies encompass a broad group of diseases in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably and can invade nearby organs or spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis.
- Each oncological pathology has a different behavior (origin, growth rate, capacity for dissemination, and response to treatment), which is why an accurate diagnosis is essential to offer a personalized approach.
- At Quenet-Torrent Institute, we study in detail the pathological profile and, when necessary, the genetic profile of the tumor, with the aim of choosing the most appropriate therapeutic strategy for each patient, especially in complex cases and advanced cancer.

Wonderful surgical team, among the best out there. Dr. Torrent (expert in peritoneal carcinomatosis) is an exceptional surgeon and an even better person. His coordinator is super kind, fast and efficient. The human treatment is great and the results are too. This is of vital importance for cancer patients.

In the public healthcare system they gave my father a maximum of one year to live. They only offered him chemo and no hope, said it was impossible, that nothing could be done. He had several tumors inside the peritoneal sac with metastases. A year and a half later he is clean, completely cured. His latest PET scan came back clean. We are very happy. Thanks to Dr. Torrent and his team. THANK YOU.

Excellent professionals, especially Dr. Torrent, attentive at all times to the patient (my wife), operated for peritoneal pseudomyxoma. They helped us with all our needs since we came from outside Barcelona. Thank you Elisabeth. We are very grateful to Quenet Torrent Institute, thank you for everything.

I am a 63-year-old patient. They detected adrenal gland cancer and told me there was nothing to be done. I sought a second opinion and they told me about the Quenet Torrent team, specialists in complex operations. Dr. Torrent, from the first moment, told me they could operate. They operated and removed a large tumor mass. I spent a week in the ICU and a month on the ward. Every day he came morning and evening, no matter Saturday or Sunday. Never throw in the towel. I am happy to have found these professionals who gave me my life back. Thank you.

I have peritoneal carcinomatosis. Sending my diagnosis to every center, practically all agreed on palliative chemo with little survival time since I had very aggressive cell types. Until we reached Dr. Quenet, Dr. Torrent and their team. I can only confirm what their CV announces: they are far ahead of the rest. They saved my life — at surgery the harmful cells everyone diagnosed (and used to refuse to operate) were not there. This intervention has become the best investment of my life.
