Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer, and its incidence has increased continuously in the last three decades throughout the world, currently it is estimated that in the country there are around 29,914 patients suffering from this pathology of which 12,860 would be the potential market as they are in stage II, III and IV. The main costs of the project are in the investment of fixed assets, radiation equipment and working capital, which will be financed 30% in capital contributions and the remaining 70% in loans from the financial sector. It is concluded that the project is viable at an operational, legal and economic level, making it a good investment option in the health sector.
