IDENTITY AND MISSIONS

Three pillars : care, research and education

The Gustave Roussy cancer center, founded in 1926 by professor Gustave Roussy, distinguished itself from the very beginning by its wholly integrated approach to research, care and teaching; today, it is one of the ten world leaders in the fight against cancer.
Its internationally renown professionals are specialists with regard to all different types of cancer, at all stages and at all ages.
As an expert center in dealing with complex cancers, Gustave Roussy brings together cutting-edge medical care and human support.
Gustave Roussy’s specificity is also based on its therapeutic innovation, which today puts it at the forefront in very promising areas such as personalised medicine – which takes into account the patient and their tumour’s genetic characteristics – and tomorrow’s therapies (immunotherapy, DNA repair inhibitors, epigenetic modulators).

At the forefront of centers in the fight against cancer

A key actor on the European and international oncology scene, Gustave Roussy applies a global approach to cancer, employing multidisciplinary teams to care for each patient and define by a multidisciplinary process the best treatments for them. Top level research, conducted at the very heart of the Institute, is aimed at the integration of basic, translational and clinical approaches, so that the results can be applied as quickly as possible for the benefit of the patient. The teaching provided to the students, researchers and practitioners, enables them to bring into practice new developments in cancer treatment, and introduce innovations.
The Institute is a driving force in the dissemination of knowledge and training by exporting its working models, its experience andmedical expertise abroad. Further, numerous academic partnerships are nurtured with the greatest cancer centers in the world for worldwide research projects.
Gustave Roussy’s holds a central position in the project Cancer Campus – a campus of international scope which structures, around the Institute, university activities in research and health innovation – and Grand Paris, a future Greater Paris Area which links the major economical centers of mainland France.
