Why Travel to Mexico?

The cost of cancer care in the U.S. and other countries can be prohibitively expensive, leaving many patients searching for alternatives. Mexico offers high-quality, personalized cancer care at significantly lower costs—often 50% to 70% less than in the U.S. At Immunity Therapy Center (ITC), our approach focuses on alternative, non-invasive therapies designed to support your immune system while prioritizing your comfort and well-being.

Another major advantage of seeking treatment in Mexico is the quicker turnaround time compared to traditional cancer treatment in the U.S. While patients in the U.S. often face long wait times for specialist appointments, diagnostic tests, and treatment approvals, ITC provides immediate access to personalized care. This means you can start your treatment plan sooner, potentially improving outcomes and reducing the stress of delays—all while benefiting from lower costs.

Located just minutes from the U.S. border, we also provide free airport transportation and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient.

Comparing Costs: Mexico vs U.S.

Cancer treatment costs can vary dramatically depending on the country. In the U.S., patients can pay anywhere from $150,000 to $400,000 for comprehensive cancer care. Meanwhile, in Mexico, high-quality alternative treatments at facilities like ITC can cost up to 70% less. Beyond affordability, Mexico offers personalized, patient-first care that prioritizes comfort and holistic healing, making it an attractive alternative to high-cost treatments in the U.S. and other countries.
