CDD Radioterapia is a specialized radiotherapy and radiosurgery center in the Dominican Republic. It treats patients at two locations in Santo Domingo and La Romana. The team focuses on oncology, including breast, brain, and colorectal cancers. Its 10 specialists trained at Yale University and the Complutense University of Madrid.
Dr. Wilson Mourad founded the center in 2012. It was the first in the country to perform SBRT treatments. In 2018, the clinic earned a quality certification from the European Society for Radiotherapy & Oncology. This confirms correct dose distribution for advanced radiation treatments. The center also holds certifications from 2016 and 2017.
The facility uses Halcyon and CLINAC 21 IX linear accelerators by Varian Medical Systems. Diagnostics include the PET-CT Discovery IQ with LightBurst technology for sharp imaging. Specialists apply respiratory gating and image-guided radiotherapy to improve accuracy. Before each session, they run real-time anatomical comparisons with high-definition PortalVision imaging.
