A journey against cancer and pain

With this idea as a banner, the Galician surgeon Diego González Rivas, known as Doctor Diego, fights against lung cancer and pain in hospitals worldwide. His revolutionary technique allows him to operate on the thoracic cavity by making a small intercostal opening, sometimes even with local anesthesia, and facilitates patients to return home and to normal life within 48 hours.

"It's not a matter of being brave,
but having faith in experience"

Dr. Diego González Rivas
