CGFL is a hospital and research center specialized in cancerology.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CGFL is one of the 18 Cancer Centers (CC) grouped under the Unicancer Federation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All CLCCs operate 100% publicly and play a major role in healthcare provision and research. Since their creation (by order of General de Gaulle on October 1, 1945), they have contributed to the public hospital service, with a constant commitment to improving the quality and accessibility of care. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n

Our establishment offers a personalized care model to each patient, both in terms of care and in terms of monitoring and support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CGFL’s healthcare range covers all cancer treatments: surgery, radiotherapy, brachytherapy and chemotherapy. Each patient benefits from tailored treatments, thanks to the in-depth, multidisciplinary expertise of the oncology medical teams.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n

Surgery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surgery is a standard treatment<\/strong> in the management of cancer. It aims to remove the tumor as well as any nearby tissues or lymph nodes that may be affected. In certain cases\u2014such as after the removal of a breast, skin (particularly sarcomas), or digestive tumor\u2014reconstructive surgery may be considered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a mastectomy is necessary, whenever possible, our team offers immediate breast reconstruction<\/strong>. The CGFL offers a full range of breast reconstruction techniques, including flaps with microsurgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[ AT CGFL: The surgery department treats most adult cancers<\/strong>. Operations are performed by a team of surgeons dedicated exclusively to cancer surgery<\/g>. Patients benefit from innovative care programmes<\/strong> including outpatient surgery, enhanced post-surgery rehabilitation (EPR) and optimized preparation protocols (prehabilitation) ] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CGFL has acquired a DA VINCI XI surgical robot<\/strong>At the cutting edge of innovation, the Da Vinci Xi surgical robot installed at the CGFL offers high-precision movements and integrates a high-definition imaging system. In addition, the surgical console can be connected to an ultrasound system, whose images are projected directly onto the control screen to guide the surgeon throughout the procedure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Chemotherapy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chemotherapy<\/strong> refers to drug treatments<\/strong> that destroy cancer cells<\/strong> or prevent them from multiplying. It can be administered intravenously, orally, intramuscularly, and more rarely directly into the tumor. Chemotherapy can be adjuvant, concomitant, or combined with other therapies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the CGFL, chemotherapy<\/strong> is prepared within our establishment and can be administered in the Day Hospital<\/strong> or in conventional hospitalization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Radiotherapy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Radiotherapy is a locoregional treatment<\/strong> that uses ionizing radiation to destroy cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue and surrounding organs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be prescribed for curative or palliative purposes<\/strong> and can be given alone or in combination with other treatments (e.g.: surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of radiotherapy depending on the location of the radiation source in relation to the patient (internal or external)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
