Centro Médico Privado Deán Funes

What Centro Médico Privado Deán Funes does

Centro Médico Privado Deán Funes is a private radiotherapy center headquartered at Deán Funes 2869, Alto Alberdi, in the city of Córdoba, Argentina, operating continuously since 1994 under medical direction of Dra. María Fernanda Díaz Vázquez and co-direction of Prof. Dr. Gustavo Ferraris. The center specializes in radiation therapy for malignant tumors and provides multidisciplinary treatment to more than 3,000 cancer patients per year, addressing breast, prostate, brain, head and neck, colorectal, lung, and cervical cancers, as well as pediatric cases (notably Wilms tumor via a partnership with Hospital de Niños de la Santísima Trinidad) and conditioning regimens for bone-marrow transplantation.

Its service portfolio comprises nine core radiotherapy modalities: three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), RapidArc volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT/SABR), respiratory gating for left-sided breast cancer, brachytherapy (internal radiation therapy), total body irradiation (TBI), and total skin irradiation (TSI). These capabilities are supported by an in-house team of approximately ten radiation oncologists and specialists, with Drs. Ferraris and Caussa holding leadership roles in national and international societies (SATRO presidency; Argentine Association of Radiosurgery vice presidency) and the Universidad Católica de Córdoba's radiation oncology training program.

The business model is fee-for-service radiotherapy delivered at a single site, with revenue derived from private-pay patients and reimbursements from Argentine obras sociales and prepagas via a published provider directory (Cartilla de Prestadores). Patient acquisition relies on direct phone and email appointments, referrals from oncologists and surgeons, and insurance network inclusion; awareness is built through scientific congress participation (ASTRO, ASCO, ISRS, SATRO, SAC, AAOC), social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and earned media in regional outlets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. No parent company, private equity backing, or external funding rounds are documented; the entity is physician-owned and managed, and operates exclusively in Córdoba province.

Products and services

• 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (Radioterapia Conformacional Tridimensional) Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy technique that shapes radiation beams to match the tumor's geometry, allowing precise dose delivery while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Offered to cancer patients referred to the center.
• Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy / IMRT (Radioterapia de Intensidad Modulada) Intensity-modulated radiation therapy that uses computer-optimized beam intensities to deliver precise radiation doses conforming to tumor shapes with improved organ sparing. Offered to cancer patients requiring conformal treatment.
• RapidArc Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy / VMAT (RapidArc – Arcoterapia Volumétrica) Volumetric modulated arc therapy enabling continuous delivery of radiation while the treatment machine rotates around the patient, providing faster and more precise treatments. Offered to cancer patients.
• Stereotactic Radiosurgery / SRS (Radiocirugía Estereotáctica) Stereotactic radiosurgery delivering highly focused radiation beams with sub-millimeter precision to treat intracranial lesions in single or few sessions. Offered to patients with brain tumors and other intracranial lesions.
• Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy / SBRT and SABR (Radioterapia Estereotáctica Corporal / Radioterapia Ablativa Estereotáctica) Stereotactic body radiation therapy delivering ablative radiation doses with extreme precision to extracranial tumors in limited fractions. Offered to patients with body tumors suitable for stereotactic treatment.
• Respiratory Gating for Left Breast Cancer (Gating Respiratorio de Mama Izquierda) Respiratory gating technique for left breast cancer treatment that synchronizes radiation delivery with the patient's breathing cycle to minimize radiation exposure to the heart and surrounding healthy tissues. Offered to patients undergoing left breast radiation therapy.
• Brachytherapy / Internal Radiation Therapy (Braquiterapia / Radioterapia Interna) Internal radiation therapy placing radioactive sources directly inside or near the tumor, delivering high doses to the target while limiting exposure to surrounding tissues. Offered to patients with eligible tumor types (e.g., gynecological, prostate, and other site-specific cancers).
• Total Body Irradiation / TBI (Irradiación Corporal Total) Total body irradiation delivering uniform radiation doses to the entire body, primarily used as part of conditioning regimens prior to bone marrow transplantation. Offered to patients undergoing bone marrow transplant preparation.
• Total Skin Irradiation / TSI (Irradiación Total de Piel) Total skin irradiation treating the entire skin surface, used primarily for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and other diffuse skin malignancies. Offered to patients with eligible dermatological malignancies.

• Varian Medical Systems (Siemens Healthineers): Leading manufacturer of linear accelerators, RapidArc/VMAT systems, and oncology software. Comparable as the provider of the RapidArc technology Deán Funes uses and a key determinant of installed-base clinical competitiveness.

Broad incumbents

• GenesisCare: Global outpatient oncology and radiotherapy operator with presence in Australia, UK, Spain, and the US. Comparable as a multi-site radiotherapy specialist focused on advanced modalities (IMRT, VMAT, SBRT), though at vastly larger scale.
