For the acquisition of this new high-energy linear accelerator, an investment of just over 86 million pesos was required.
With this state-of-the-art equipment, it is expected to benefit 70 patients per day.
It will allow very precise radiotherapy treatments to be carried out with the most advanced techniques.
He National Cancer Institute It is listed as one of the best of its kind in all of Latin America. Since its creation in 1950, it has positioned itself as a benchmark in the care of patients with tumors. At the same time, it is permanently updated both in knowledge and with the acquisition of professional equipment.
With this in mind, to reinforce his medical attention received from the Institute of Health for Well-being (Insabi) a high energy linear accelerator. In this way, now patients with oncological diseases will be able to receive safer, faster treatments and with state-of-the-art technology.
Millionaire investment in medical equipment
With a investment of 86 million 136 thousand 782 pesosInsabi acquired the new equipment to replace the linear accelerator that was acquired in 1999, which had already finished its useful life.
For the acquisition of this equipment, this institute carried out a technical analysis, where it considered demographic, coverage and epidemiological aspects, as well as the technical characteristics of the accelerator, investment and operating costs.

This high-energy linear accelerator delivered to the National Cancer Institute It will benefit up to 70 daily patients diagnosed with cancer who do not have social security, who will receive precise radiotherapy treatments with advanced techniques.
High Energy Linear Accelerator Characteristics
He accelerator is a state-of-the-art equipment that will allow treating from very small lesions to large tumor volumes, thanks to the mechanical precision of its isocenter, less than one millimeter.
This equipment will allow cancer patients to receive electron therapy, which requires high energy, as well as palliative and curative radiation therapy.
The accelerator will reduce waiting times in the application of treatments and will optimize the inputs used.
Likewise, it strengthens the infrastructure for diagnoses and treatments for cancer, in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.
With the delivery of this medical equipment, the National Cancer Institute it will have greater capacity to meet the current demand for oncological conditions.
The Institute, under the direction of Abelardo Meneses García, is a third level medical unit that provides services to the population without social security throughout the country. However, most of his patients reside in the megalopolis of the Valley of Mexico Metropolitan Area, made up of Mexico City, the State of Mexico, Hidalgo, Puebla, Morelos, Querétaro and Tlaxcala.
