RADIOTHERAPY

(on the ground floor of the Centre)

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.
Having familiarised himself with your case, in particular through Multidisciplinary Consultation Meetings, the radiotherapist will suggest the most appropriate treatment for you.
After this initial consultation, a centring scan is carried out to mark out the treatment on your skin.
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.
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.
