With its new state-of-the-art high-energy Proton Therapy equipment, the Antoine Lacassagne Center is the only facility in France to have such a comprehensive and innovative technical platform.
This advanced technology will enable the treatment of tumors in children at the West site during the first half of 2016. This new type of patient requires specific equipment, both medical and furniture, and also creates the need to equip indoor and outdoor play areas.
This equipment was supplemented by a portable monitoring device, made possible by the generosity of the Friends of Lacassagne Association, chaired by Michelle Boucarain. Thanks to a charity concert, they were able to raise the tidy sum of 2,000 euros, to which a generous donor added a contribution of 800 euros.
The purpose of the Association is to provide some elements of comfort that would be difficult to budget within the framework of the routine administration of a healthcare facility.
