The CHU and the Centre François Baclesse of Caen, have joined forces for the creation of a tumor library of Lower Normandy. It will retain cancer cells from which researchers can source their supplies. We are here at its inauguration.
Cancers can be treated with oral therapies. They allow patients, accompanied by a rigorous medical follow-up, to be treated at home.
