Since 2002, the center has supported cancer patients through diagnosis, staging, treatment and follow-up. Specialists in this unit work together in a multidisciplinary approach to guarantee that each patient has access to the most advanced treatment protocols for each specific case.

In this Unit, we offer the latest technology in radiotherapy, the TrueBeam linear accelerator. This equipment gives patients access to one of the most advanced therapeutic protocols in the world. With Truebeam, we are taking another decisive step forward in our ability to fight cancer effectively and efficiently.

Cancer's biggest weakness: early detection.

In the first consultations and exams, we act in the detection of potential cancers. Prevention is the first step.
