Gustave Roussy et THERYQ : le premier équipement de radiothérapie FLASH qui traitera des malades arrive en France.

Two of Gustave Roussy’s four new medical and scientific programmes are dedicated to childhood cancers. The first, DECRIPT, aims to improve understanding of the role played by genetics in the development of certain childhood cancers, as well as second cancers that may occur in adulthood. The second, INSPIRE, will draw on the knowledge and techniques already developed at the Institute to create organoids, with the aim of deciphering the mechanisms underlying metastasis and resistance to treatment.

By order of Ms. Stéphanie Rist, Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Persons with Disabilities, dated 27 July 2026, Professor Fabrice Barlesi has been reappointed as Director General of Gustave Roussy, effective 1 August 2026. At the helm of the Institute for five more years, Prof. Barlesi will continue the transformations undertaken during his first term. This renewal reflects the confidence placed in the project led by the institution to accelerate progress in the fight against cancer, foster and support the development of innovations set to change the future of oncology, and strengthen the influence of one of the world's leading cancer centers.

For the Route du Rhum - Destination Guadeloupe 2026, Jean Le Cam and Christophe Rateau will sail under the colors of Gustave Roussy, the leading cancer center in France and Europe. Competing respectively in the Vintage and Class40 categories, the two skippers will carry the Institute's mission to the general public, supporting cancer research and raising awareness of prevention, innovation and patient care.

Owkin and Gustave Roussy, Europe's leading cancer center, today announced a partnership to test K Pro directly within the hospital's real-world clinical and research workflows.
