Personalized medicine, decided by a multidisciplinary team
Equipped with the latest diagnostic devices, such as high-speed sequencers or the latest generation of scanners, and with a dedicated clinical research team – ISO 9001 certifi ed since 2013 – the Centre Léon Bérard implements personalized medicine based on the expertise and multidisciplinary nature of these medical teams.
Each week, the surgeons, medical oncologists, radiotherapists, and diagnostic and support care specialists come together in multidisciplinary consultation meetings to define the treatment protocol that is most appropriate to the person in our care.
The Centre Léon Bérard offers all treatments in complex or minimally invasive surgery, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, anti-angiogenic, stereotactic radiotherapy, Cyberknife©, HDR brachytherapy, etc. Interventional radiology, a more recent discipline but long established at CLB, is also being developed.
