Treatment for adults
Once the indication has been validated during a Multidisciplinary Consultation Meeting (MCM), the proton therapy treatment course includes a treatment preparation phase and a series of irradiation sessions.
Proton therapy sessions take place daily for periods of several weeks. Most patients are not hospitalized during this period. Patients from far away must therefore find accommodation. We will help you find suitable accommodation.
Proton therapy is a care offering that is also available for patients from all over the world. These patients can send a request for treatment to the François Baclesse Centre.
Many patients and carers come from other regions or even other countries for proton therapy treatment at the François Baclesse Centre. Caen and the Normandy region offer many opportunities to make good use of your time here.
Proton therapy is a form of radiotherapy that irradiates tumours in a highly targeted manner, protecting healthy tissue even better than current radiotherapy techniques.
