What Centre Henri Becquerel does

Centre Henri Becquerel is a non-profit comprehensive cancer care centre (ESPIC — Etablissement de Santé Privé d'Intérêt Collectif) located in Rouen, Normandy, France. It is one of 18 Centres de Lutte Contre le Cancer (CLCC) that form the Unicancer federation, the national network guaranteeing quality and innovation in French oncology. The centre operates an integrated single-site platform combining diagnostic imaging (MRI, CT, PET-Scan, scintigraphy, mammography, ultrasound), biopathology (anatomopathology, cytogenetics, molecular biology), and therapeutic services including surgery, medical oncology, hematology with cellular therapies (autograft and allograft), radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Supportive care spans psycho-oncology, pain management, physiotherapy, nutrition, socio-aesthetics, sophrology, and adapted physical activity.

The centre's ISO 9001-certified Clinical Research Unit enables approximately 15% of patients to access innovative treatments through clinical trials, and the Biological Resources Centre supports translational and fundamental research. Additional operations include the Institut de Formation Henri-Becquerel for oncology professional education and digital services (online appointment platform and Doctolib integration for booking). As a non-profit ESPIC, the centre generates revenue exclusively through French social security (CPAM) reimbursements at conventional tariffs, with no excess fees or liberal activity. Patients access services primarily through physician referrals (oncologists, surgeons, GPs) and self-referral for selected specialties via online request forms.
