Sociedad de Lucha Contra el Cáncer

Sociedad de Lucha Contra el Cáncer (SOLCA) is the preeminent oncology healthcare network in Ecuador, functioning as a private non-profit organization focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Founded in 1951, the organization operates a comprehensive network of specialized hospitals and institutes across major Ecuadorian cities, including Guayaquil, Quito, and Cuenca. SOLCA provides high-complexity medical services such as advanced radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Beyond clinical services, the institution is a leader in oncological research and maintains the National Tumor Registry, which is essential for cancer epidemiology in South America. It plays a vital role in the Ecuadorian health system by providing specialized care to both public and private sector patients through a unique funding model supported by national legislation.
