Cancun Oncology Center

What Cancun Oncology Center does

Cancun Oncology Center (legal entity: CANCUN ONCOLOGY CENTER, S.A.P.I. DE C.V) is a specialized radio-oncology facility located within Hospital Galenia Tower B in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Founded in December 2012 and operational for radiotherapy since April 2013, the center is the first and only radiotherapy provider in the state of Quintana Roo. It operates a last-generation Elekta linear accelerator — the only unit of its class in southeast Mexico — delivering advanced radiotherapy techniques including VMAT, IGRT, SRS, SRT, IMRT, 3D Photon, electron beam treatment, hypofractionated radiotherapy, and simulation tomography-based treatment planning. The facility holds three hospital accreditations (Mexican General Health Council, Joint Commission International, and Accreditation Canada International) and is part of the MRC International network with Center of Excellence designation.

The center serves adult and pediatric cancer patients across multiple tumor types (breast, prostate, head and neck, bladder, lung, Hodgkin's, colon, testicular, skin, lymphoma, leukemia, sarcoma, oral cancers), as well as international medical tourists attracted by the Cancun destination. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service radiotherapy consultations, treatment sessions, palliative care, and multidisciplinary support services (psychology, nutrition, physiotherapy). Payment is facilitated through agreements with major Mexican insurance providers and self-pay arrangements. Patient acquisition occurs via direct scheduling (phone, WhatsApp, online forms), physician referrals, insurance network access, and content marketing through an active blog and social media presence on Facebook and Instagram.

The clinical team is led by Head of Radiotherapy Dra. Jheymmy Ortiz (UNAM-trained, Mexican Radiotherapy Council certified) and includes additional board-certified radio-oncologists. Strategic advisory support comes from an international board: Prof. Christer Lindquist (founder/president of the Leksell Gamma Knife Society), Dr. Richard L. Weiner (Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery expert), and Dr. María Claudia Mallarino (Stanford-trained oncologist, identified as founder/owner). Operational partnerships include Hospital Galenia (co-location), Cancer Center TEC100 in Querétaro, and Gamma Knife Dominicano Center in Santo Domingo, enabling cross-border referrals for cases requiring Gamma Knife or specialized services.
