Grupo IMO About us

1. Our objective

The IMO Group is the largest network of reference centres for cancer treatment using Radiotherapy techniques in Spain.

Our vocation is to serve society which in practice means striving to:

Contribute to the task of defeating cancer being aware that good health is the principle asset of human beings.

Provide integrated quality multidisciplinary health services.

Commit ourselves to technological progress applicable to health care. We are, and wish to continue being, pioneers in the application of state-of-the-art efficacious technology.

Deserve the trust of our patients and colleagues throughout the world.

2. Some interesting facts

The IMO Group originated from the founding of Radiocirugía San Francisco de Asís, S.A. in 1988.

The initiative arose from a group of professionals who were committed to making the most modern irradiation techniques for the fight against cancer available to the community.

Since then, in Spain the society has been a pioneer in the treatment of patients using the following techniques:

i. Linear Accelerator Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

ii. Intraoperative Radiotherapy.
iii. 3D Dynamic Radiotherapy.
iv. Fractioned Stereotactic Radiotherapy.

v. High Rate Brachytherapy.
vi. Intraoperative Brachytherapy.
vii. Brachytherapy with Y125 sources.

The IMO Group is always attentive to innovative new techniques which may be reliable and efficacious in our Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy units and in the treatment of our current and future patients.

Along this line, the IMO Group has recently added Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) and body Radiosurgery techniques to its treatments.
