Our Team

Dr. Marta Suárez

I am a medical oncologist with a degree in Medicine from the University of Zaragoza (1997). I completed my residency training program in Medical Oncology and obtained my specialist qualification at the Hospital del Mar in Barcelona. I then worked for two years as a staff physician in the Breast and Gynecological Tumor unit. During this period, new therapies were applied to breast cancer and advances were made in the field of precision oncology. I experienced the transition to a new model of oncology and learned to take a comprehensive approach to patient care, encompassing psychological, social and nutritional needs and other accompanying pathologies, with attention to detail. Subsequently, I worked for two years at the Institut Dexeus and the Hospital de Barcelona, treating patients with various pathologies, primarily breast and gynecological tumors. For the next thirteen years, I worked at the Teknon Medical Center, where I was part of the breast and gynecological pathology committee. I also consulted for two years at the IMQ Zorrotzaurre Clinic in Bilbao. As a staff physician I was responsible for outpatient and inpatient care, accompanying patients at different stages of their illness. In my final year at Teknon Medical Center I took on the role of Director of Patient Care, contributing to the day-to-day management of the IOT. In August 2021, we created the UOMI Cancer Center, where I combine my activity as an oncologist in breast and gynecological pathology with overall responsibility for care management.
