CRCDC Pays de la Loire

What CRCDC Pays de la Loire does

CRCDC Pays de la Loire (Centre Régional de Coordination des Dépistages des Cancers – Pays de la Loire) is a French non-profit association established under Law 1901 and invested with a public interest mission. Founded in 2018 with its legal seat (siège social) in Angers, it coordinates organized cancer screening programs for the Pays de la Loire region across five departmental territorial sites: Angers (Maine et Loire), Nantes (Loire-Atlantique), Laval (Mayenne), Le Mans (Sarthe), and La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée). The organization is mandated by the French Ministry of Health and Prevention to operate three core screening programs — Dépistage Organisé du Cancer du Sein (DOCS) for women aged 50–74, Dépistage Organisé du Cancer Colorectal (DOCCR) for men and women aged 50–74, and Dépistage Organisé du Cancer du Col de l'Utérus (DOCCU) for women aged 25–65 — and to promote HPV vaccination. More than 2.7 million Ligériens are eligible for these programs, with annual volumes of 210,000+ colorectal screenings and 162,000+ breast screenings (2022), placing the organization 1st in France for colorectal participation (2024–2025) and 4th for breast participation (2023–2024).

Operationally, CRCDC operates as a regional coordination layer rather than a service provider: the underlying technology is a public-health coordination platform integrating with Assurance Maladie's Ameli Pro, Santé.fr, INCa platforms, and regional health databases. Functional components include an interactive radiology center locator, a pharmacist-enabled colorectal screening kit distribution network with locator maps, and professional eligibility-testing tools. CRCDC also operates a second-reading system for mammography — the only such system in the region — and runs a training catalogue (B.A.-BA Dépistages, Formation Continue, Dépistages Avancés, Ambassadeur program) for physicians, radiologists, pharmacists, gynecologists, and midwives.

The revenue model is single-source public funding. Since January 1, 2024, CRCDC has been financed exclusively by the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) Pays de la Loire; prior funding also flowed from INCa, Santé Publique France, ORS, the Registre des Cancers, and Assurance Maladie. There are no commercial revenue streams. All organized screening tests are 100% covered by Assurance Maladie with no advance payment required from citizens, and invitations are now issued directly by Assurance Maladie. The organization's customers in the operational sense are healthcare professionals and institutional partners (INCa, Santé Publique France, ARS, MSA, ORS, Registre des Cancers); the beneficiaries of its mission are the regional population eligible for cancer screening.
