A cancer hospital in Guatemala City run by the National League Against Cancer, a charity that also keeps a national cancer registry. Under an agreement with the Ministry of Health it treats patients sent from public hospitals.
UICC's member page says the Liga Nacional Contra el Cáncer was founded in 1953 and is financed by donations, charges to patients who can pay, and an annual allocation from the Ministry of Public Health; it runs its hospital, the Instituto de Cancerología Dr. Bernardo del Valle S. (INCAN), from 1957, a Department of National Cancer Registry from 1975, and prevention and education through PIENSA from 1996. In February 2022 the Ministry (MSPAS) and the Liga signed an agreement for INCAN to treat at least 3,500 cancer patients referred by national hospitals that year, against 1,600 in 2021, covering chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, minor procedures, biopsies and outpatient follow-up (AGN). IAEA DIRAC lists the Liga Nacional Contra el Cáncer at 6a avenida "A" 6-58, zona 11, with three linear accelerators, two brachytherapy units and a CT scanner (entry last updated 2023). Coordinates are DIRAC's.
