Cancer Diagnosis: What’s Next?

San Cristóbal Cancer Institute is committed to delivering top-notch cancer treatment with excellence, kindness and respect. Our doctors and medical staff interact every day with patients and industry partners to ensure that patients and their families benefit from a wide array of the most up-to-date standard and experimental treatment options.

We are local leaders in Radiotherapy, as our radiology specialists have honed their expertise for over 3 decades. Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA in the cancer cell, thereby disabling the cancer cells from reproducing and growing. The cancer cells then die and the cancer shrinks. The objective of radiation therapy is to kill enough cancer cells to maximize the probability of cure and minimize the side effects. Under some circumstances, radiation therapy may also be used as palliative care, which is aimed at reducing symptoms but not curing the underlying disease.
