Welcome to the new Gustave Roussy website
A new website designed to offer you a simpler, clearer, and more intuitive experience. Patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and donors: find information, news, and services more easily.
International Center for Thoracic Cancers
The International Center for Thoracic Cancers (CICT) brings together the complementary expertise of Gustave Roussy, Marie-Lannelongue Hospital, and Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital. This healthcare cooperation group offers coordinated care for lung, pleural, and mediastinal cancers, as well as other thoracic tumors, regardless of their stage or complexity.
Three facilities, coordinated expertise
Gustave Roussy contributes its expertise in medical oncology, radiation therapy, and therapeutic innovation. The Marie-Lannelongue Hospital contributes, in particular, through its expertise in thoracic and vascular surgery. Paris Saint-Joseph Hospital provides care in pulmonology and thoracic oncology.
An alliance dedicated to thoracic cancers
Established as an offshoot of the Institute of Thoracic Oncology, the CICT brings together pulmonologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, pathologists, clinical laboratory scientists, anesthesiologists, pharmacists, and palliative care professionals under one umbrella.
Cases are reviewed during multidisciplinary team meetings to determine a treatment strategy tailored to the disease, its extent, and each patient’s individual situation.
Which types of cancer are covered?
- Bronchopulmonary cancers, whether small-cell or non-small-cell.
- Tumors of the pleura, including mesotheliomas.
- Mediastinal tumors, including thymomas.
- Other thoracic tumors, particularly those of the trachea, the chest wall, or the great vessels, depending on their nature and complexity.
A Coordinated Care Pathway, from Diagnosis to Treatment
The CICT provides comprehensive care, from diagnostic tests through treatment and follow-up. Depending on their situation, patients may receive surgery, radiation therapy, interventional radiology, and drug treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or immunotherapy.
-
Rapid Diagnosis
The InstaDiag pathway is designed to quickly arrange the necessary tests when a thoracic tumor is suspected.
-
Coordinated Treatments
We combine our various areas of expertise to develop a personalized treatment plan and organize the sequence of treatments.
The CICT develops coordinated care pathways, including rapid diagnosis, as well as specialized care for complex or rare cases.
The teams conduct clinical, translational, and basic research on thoracic cancers. Depending on the situation and eligibility criteria, patients may be offered the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial.
The CICT contributes to the training of professionals through university courses and master classes focused on thoracic oncology.
A multidisciplinary team
Create a dynamic module showcasing CICT specialists, with filters by institution and discipline. This format will make it easier to update the content without lengthening the editorial page.
