In Caen, the cancer centre François BACLESSE receives 4600 patients every year. It is a reference institution in France, especially thanks to the psychological support pole. In Lower Normandy, cancer kills nearly 4,000 people a year, and is cured in more than one out of two cases, thanks to the increasingly early detection. The BACLESSE Centre will now be part of the ANCELOT network, intended to connect all health stakeholders (from doctor to hospital) in order to offer patients the best chance of recovery.
Fusion... To constitute a pole of excellence in the fields of cancer control. More attractive to the pharmaceutical industry, the Institut de Cancérologie de l'Ouest can thus claim more substantial funding for its research. It will also become the first radiotherapy center in France, as well as the first center for breast reconstruction. The Alliance will promote the development of activities. Each of the medical teams, while remaining on its own site, will benefit from each other’s experiences. But it is above all the patient, who will be the great beneficiary of the merger of the two centers.
