Our Cancer Institute Inc. is a private entity created to provide comprehensive services in education, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Founded in 1991, it started its activities in the area of radiotherapy and oncology in October of that year. The services are part of comprehensive cancer care ranging from breast cancer surgery, external radiotherapy and brachytherapy, and chemotherapy with 43 functional units. We have plastic surgeons involved in breast reconstruction in all its different techniques. Recently, we have developed diagnostic imaging modalities such as digital mammography, thomosyntesys in breast, MRI, and PET / CT. From November 2011 we have become partner of MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston to develop collaborative projects on Breast Cancer.
