Frequently asked questions
What is keloid treatment with radiotherapy?
The keloid is surgically removed and the area receives targeted superficial radiotherapy shortly after surgery. Combining removal with radiotherapy is the approach with the lowest reported recurrence rates, and Dr. Baquero delivers the radiation component himself as a radiation oncologist.
Why travel to Colombia for keloid treatment?
Very few centers in the U.S. offer combined excision plus radiotherapy, and the cost there can run into many thousands of dollars. With Dr. Baquero in Barranquilla the complete protocol starts around $2,500 — typically up to 79% less — with IMC coordinating the entire trip.
Which cancers does Dr. Baquero treat?
He treats breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancer with radiation therapy, and evaluates other tumor types case by case. Treatment plans use IMRT, SBRT, intracranial radiosurgery, or high-dose-rate brachytherapy depending on the diagnosis.
What technology does he work with?
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intracranial radiosurgery, and high-dose-rate brachytherapy, supported by PET-CT imaging — the same generation of technology used in leading U.S. cancer centers.
Can I get a second opinion before traveling?
Yes. Send your records, pathology report, and imaging through the IMC quote form. Dr. Baquero reviews your case and you receive his assessment, a proposed treatment plan, and transparent pricing within 24 hours — free and with no obligation.
How long would I need to stay in Barranquilla?
It depends on the protocol. Keloid radiotherapy involves only a few sessions, SBRT is typically 1–5 sessions, and conventional IMRT courses can run several weeks. IMC arranges accommodation suited to your treatment length.
