The International Cancer Center at Hospital de Diagnostico has been working since 2011 with the mission of restoring the well-being of patients with cancer or complex neurological diseases. We have the most qualified human resources and the most advanced technology, providing treatments such as radiotherapy, brain and whole-body radiosurgery, and robotic radiosurgery. Additionally, we offer a Continuous Medical Education Program and the Smiles Therapy program to strengthen the emotional well-being of our patients. Our vision is to be the #1 reference center for Latin American patients in the treatment of these diseases.
Radiation therapy is a treatment used in the management of cancer and other medical conditions, in which ionizing radiation is used to destroy cancer cells and stop their growth. It is delivered from an external or internal source and may be directed to a specific area or to the entire body, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Radiation therapy may be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies, such as surgery or chemotherapy. The goal of radiation therapy is to maximize the destruction of cancer cells while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissues. It is performed on an outpatient basis, and side effects vary depending on the dose and the area being treated.
Both treatments, radiosurgery and radiation therapy, are important options in the fight against cancer and other diseases, and they play a crucial role in achieving successful outcomes for patients.
Radiosurgery is a noninvasive treatment that uses highly precise radiation to treat tumors and lesions in the brain and other parts of the body. Unlike conventional surgery, no incision is made, which makes it an attractive option for patients who are not candidates for traditional surgery. Radiosurgery is based on delivering a high dose of radiation focused directly on the target area, destroying cancerous or abnormal cells with millimetric precision. It is a safe and effective procedure, with minimal side effects and a quick recovery.
Our team is made up of highly trained specialist physicians committed to the fields of oncology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and pain management. With extensive experience in radiation therapy and radiosurgery, our specialized doctors work alongside pain management experts, medical physicists, and other specialists to provide you with a comprehensive, leading approach to the treatment of brain disorders. Your health is in the hands of a team passionate about delivering the highest quality care.
