  • The PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography - Computed Tomography) is an image method that combines, in one study, functional information (PET) and anatomy (CT) of a part or of the whole patient.
  • The method consists in the intravenous application of a very small amount of radioactive material known as radiopharmaceutical.(usually sugar marked with a tracer or FDG) intravenous, without causing any type of annoyance or allergy, to later pass it to the equipment where the study is acquired and which allows us to visualize in which part of the organism the material was concentrated and in how much. On the same equipment and without moving the patient, a computed tomography is acquired with or without contrast to assess the internal anatomical structure of the patient and to specify exactly where any alteration in the concentration of the radiopharmaceutical is found. This information is processed with modern computation equipment and specialized programs to merge the information and that way obtain the results, that allow the attending doctor to make decisions about the treatment for the patient.

Service of ambulatory chemotherapy and short stay.

It is one of the most used treatments among patients with cancer. Its objective is to destroy the tumor cells in order to reduce tumor volume, as well as preventing malignant cells from migrating to other organs or tissues. The above is achieved through the use of a wide variety of drugs.

These drugs reach practically all the tissues of the organism and that is where they enforce their action, both on malignant and healthy cells. This is why side effects that vary in intensity and are generally transitory may appear.

In CREO we have a specialized group of dosctors and paramedics, to apply this type of treatment, as well as the infrastructure that allows the preparation of the drug under strict quality control and with the greatest comfort for the patient in private rooms and suites.
