(Our dedicated radiotherapy service, Cap Santé, is located on the ground floor of the center)
Radiotherapy is one of the treatments for cancer. It involves exposing the cancerous cells of a tumour to radiation (also known as rays or radiation), which prevents the diseased cells from multiplying and destroys them.
Your first contact will be with your radiotherapist, a doctor specialising in radiotherapy.
The total number of treatment sessions and their duration varies from patient to patient. On average, there are 1 to 39 10-minute sessions per day, depending on the therapeutic choice.
The total number of treatment sessions and their duration varies from patient to patient. In the radiotherapy department, radiation is produced by a particle accelerator. For each session, you will be placed on the treatment table by the radiotherapy technicians in the accelerator room. During irradiation, although you will be alone in the room, you will be in constant communication with the handlers in the next room, who will be equipped with microphones and a camera.
The Polyclinic Maymard does not practice stereotaxy (technique under development). If this intervention is necessary, the health professionals of the center will direct you to the mainland, at CHE in Nice.
A specific and rigorous quality approach is in place in the department. The operation of the radiotherapy equipment is regularly checked by the department's team of radiophysicists and by the manufacturers.
The radiotherapy team is at your disposal on 04.95.55.38.92.
