About the hospital

Institut Curie Proton Therapy Center Paris is the fourth center worldwide that provides proton therapy services for cancer patients and some benign tumors. The clinic was opened in 1991 based on the advanced research center for studying oncology problems Institut Curie Paris.

The clinic is equipped with narrow specialists who ensure the safety of the treatment and the quality of each stage, including oncologists, radiophysicists, processors, dosimetry technicians, paramedics, and anesthesiologists. In addition, doctors use the latest technologies: accelerators of a new generation and offices with isocentric C-arms. Furthermore, the hospital continues searching for even more minimally invasive treatment in cooperation with CNRS - IMNC/NARA in the "Proton minibeam radiation therapy (pMBRT)" project. The clinic is also working on new FLASH and proton minibeam RT approaches.

Since 1993, the medical center has offered treatment for the tiniest patients thanks to the ability to direct proton energy at different angles with the most negligible impact on healthy tissue. The maximum concentration of damage is achieved within the malignant tumor due to the features of proton energy. Particles during movement do not damage tissues and reach their maximum effect at the stopping point. Before starting the cure, a multidisciplinary team develops models for the treatment planning system (TPS) to prepare, verify and analyze the effects of radiation on patients, particularly for scattered beam techniques. This approach allowed oncologists to treat oncological lesions of the eyes with preservation of vision and structure in 90% of cases. In addition, the Paris Institut Curie Proton Therapy Center has the unique experience of treating several thousand patients of all ages with therapy-resistant chordomas or chondrosarcomas of the skull base.

Institut Curie Proton Therapy Center in Paris offers exact and effective treatment for brain tumors, lung cancer, neoplasms of the eyeball, prostate cancer, leukemia, breast tumor, lymphoma, and neoplasms in the spine. Advanced technologies and cooperation with the country's best researchers are essential components of the continuous development of treatment methods.

Is Institut Curie Proton Therapy Center Paris suitable for children?

The clinic has extensive experience in treating children with a high level of success thanks to pediatric anesthesiologists and robotic equipment, which allows difficult localization to be achieved with minimal impact on the surrounding tissues.

Should I choose a clinic for prostate cancer treatment?

Doctors offer high-precision treatment of prostate cancer without incisions and risks of damage to the organs of the genitourinary system. The maximum effect in the area of the tumor contributes to a faster rehabilitation period and a return to everyday life.
