Specializations
Thoracic Oncology
Raul Mendez Ocana is involved in clinical research focused on non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, with attention to advanced, metastatic, unresectable, and biomarker-defined disease. His trial portfolio also includes head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other solid tumors requiring systemic treatment.
- Advanced and metastatic NSCLC
- SCLC and relapsed thoracic malignancies
- HER2-, EGFR-, KRAS-, and RET-driven cancers
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
His oncology activity extends to precision-matched treatment strategies and newer immuno-oncology combinations in difficult-to-treat lung and thoracic cancers.
Hematologic Malignancies
His research landscape includes multiple blood cancers, especially acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and lymphoma subtypes. He is also involved in studies addressing relapsed or refractory disease and transplant-related hematologic settings.
- AML and MDS
- Multiple myeloma
- B-cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma
- Post-transplant hematologic complications
His trial activity reflects interest in targeted therapy, immune-based treatment, and disease control in high-risk hematologic disorders.
Immune-Mediated and Inflammatory Diseases
He participates in studies across inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and related autoimmune conditions. His portfolio also includes myasthenia gravis, thyroid eye disease, and other immune-mediated disorders.
- Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis
- Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
- Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa
This area also covers chronic inflammatory and autoimmune syndromes with a focus on long-term disease control and symptom relief.
Neurology and Neurodegenerative Disorders
His clinical research includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, migraine, and Alzheimer’s disease. He is also involved in studies of broader neurodegenerative diseases and movement disorders.
- ALS and motor neuron disease
- Relapsing and progressive multiple sclerosis
- Focal epilepsy and rare epileptic syndromes
- Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease
His therapeutic interests include neurologic symptom management, disease modification, and treatment options for chronic progressive nervous system disorders.
Respiratory, Transplant, and Cardiometabolic Care
As a clinician in neumology, he is engaged in research on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, asthma, pulmonary hypertension, and interstitial lung disease. His trial activity also includes lung transplantation, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease.
- Cystic fibrosis and chronic airway disease
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension
- Lung transplant infectious prophylaxis and rejection-related care
- Heart failure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
His work in this domain also spans selected metabolic and renal complications that intersect with chronic respiratory and transplant medicine.
