Hospital Obispo Polanco

At Hospital Obispo Polanco in Teruel, clinical trials are exploring care in neoplasms and cardiovascular diseases, with a strong focus on improving outcomes for people living with breast and colorectal cancer.

• ER+/HER2- early breast cancer
• Stage IV colon or rectal adenocarcinoma
• Preventing cancer recurrence and reducing venous thromboembolic risk

These studies are designed to test new treatment strategies and support better long-term disease control for patients receiving cancer care.

Research in digestive system diseases includes trials for diverticular disease and acute uncomplicated diverticulitis, with attention to safer and more effective outpatient management.

• Uncomplicated acute diverticulitis
• Outpatient treatment approaches with and without antibiotics
• Evaluating effectiveness and safety in routine care

These studies aim to refine everyday treatment decisions and help identify whether simpler care pathways can work well for selected patients.

The site is also studying colonoscopy-related care in patients taking antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy, with a focus on reducing bleeding risk during polyp removal.

• Patients undergoing colonoscopy
• Postpolypectomy hemorrhage prevention
• Balancing procedure safety with ongoing blood-thinning treatment

This research supports improved diagnostic and procedural planning for people who need endoscopic evaluation while managing cardiovascular medication needs.

With a small but focused portfolio, Hospital Obispo Polanco contributes to studies across oncology, gastroenterology, and cardiovascular-related care, reflecting practical research aimed at everyday patient problems.

• Testing new therapy options
• Improving safety in common procedures
• Supporting treatment effectiveness in routine hospital practice

The overall research landscape centers on applied clinical questions that can directly inform care for patients in the hospital setting.
