Advanced radiotherapy for breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers — IMRT, SBRT, radiosurgery, and brachytherapy — led by a radiation oncologist with 12+ years of experience, at up to 92% below U.S. prices.
IMC connects you with Dr. William Baquero, an internationally trained radiation oncologist who delivers modern, image-guided radiotherapy for a wide range of cancers — including breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, head and neck, and skin.
Treatment is planned and delivered with the same modalities used in leading U.S. centers — IMRT, SBRT/SABR, radiosurgery, and brachytherapy — using accredited equipment in Barranquilla, at a fraction of the cost.
IMC coordinates radiotherapy for patients who already have a cancer diagnosis and a treatment recommendation, and who are looking at the cost of delivering it. It tends to make sense if:
This is not an emergency service and not a second-opinion-only service. If you are acutely unwell, mid-course elsewhere, or still undiagnosed, treatment abroad is usually the wrong move and we will tell you so. Radiotherapy is also one part of cancer care — surgery and systemic therapy are coordinated with your home team, not replaced by us.
Pathology, imaging, and your oncologist's recommendation. Dr. Baquero reviews the actual case, not a summary form.
You receive the proposed modality, the expected number of fractions, and a fixed quote — before you commit to travel.
On arrival, a planning CT maps the target precisely and immobilisation is fitted so your position is reproducible at every session.
The dose is shaped to the target while limiting exposure to surrounding organs. This is the step that separates modern radiotherapy from older techniques.
Sessions are short and outpatient. The number of sessions depends on the site and modality — from a handful for SBRT to several weeks for some standard courses.
You leave with your full treatment record, dose summary, and imaging so your team at home can pick up follow-up without gaps.
Radiotherapy is outpatient. Most people continue normal daily activity throughout, and the sessions themselves are painless and take minutes. Fatigue is the most common effect and tends to build over the course rather than hitting on day one.
Site-specific effects are discussed before you start — skin changes over the treated area, and organ-specific effects depending on what is nearby. Your length of stay is driven by the number of fractions your plan calls for, so the written plan you receive before travelling tells you exactly how long you need to be in Barranquilla.
Radiotherapy has well-documented short and long-term effects that vary by site and dose. These are explained in detail at consultation, in writing, before consent. Anyone who presents radiotherapy as consequence-free is not describing the same treatment.
Travelling for cancer care also has non-clinical risks worth naming: continuity of care is harder across borders, complications are more complicated to manage far from home, and coordination with your home oncologist depends on records moving reliably. IMC exists to reduce that friction, but it does not eliminate it. For some patients — particularly complex or unstable cases — treatment at home remains the better decision, and we would rather say so than book a flight.
