Institut Curie Hospital Paris

Institut Curie Hospital Paris is part of a legendary research center that, since 1920, has been the most critical research hub in oncology, cell biology, and physics. 50,000 patients annually have the opportunity to receive convenient and latest treatment for malignant tumors of any kind thanks to the close cooperation of scientists and doctors Doctors and researchers pay great attention to the search for modern diagnostic methods for early detection of the lesion, determination of the molecular and genetic type of the tumor (sequencing) for a more accurate cure (adjuvant therapy), and determination of the presence of metastases. In addition, oncologists can access high-tech operating rooms for removing tumors using laparoscopic and minimally invasive robotic methods supplemented by remarkable navigators. Numerous studies based on the oncology department made it possible to develop a national protocol and become a leading center for treating the central nervous system and eye lymphoma. Another rare tumor that receives special attention is uveal melanoma, which is effectively treated with proton therapy and endoresection to avoid the complication of neovascular glaucoma in the event of a scar.  Also, taking on the task of a recognized leading center, oncologists have invaluable experience performing high-quality intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia (IPCH).  The method is used to destroy the minor residual processes of carcinomatosis. After surgery, IPCH combines high temperature and chemotherapy for better results. In addition, the hospital has one of the complete technical platforms for radiation therapy in France.  As a result, volume-modulated arc therapy (with development towards hypofractionated radiation therapy) or brachytherapy using iodine 125-grain implants is actively used in prostate treatment.  Also, great attention is paid to the geriatric aspects of malignant tumor lesions, so the Institute has developed a special G8 frailty screening. Doctors can assess the condition of patients over 75 years of age and have all the necessary opportunities to maintain and improve it during complex treatment. Postoperative intensive care is available as needed for faster recovery. The Paris Institut Curie Clinic staff aims to develop the most gentle methods of treating patients with the most severe diseases in oncology. In addition, doctors provide high-precision diagnostics for the timely detection of diseases. A detailed analysis of the configuration of the tumor, the mechanisms of its occurrence, and a combination of various treatments simultaneously allow for obtaining high success rates.
