Gustave Roussy is a cancer-research hospital in Europe. It is located in the Parisian area. It is named after Gustave Roussy, a Swiss-French neuropathologist.
In April 2019, three new interventional radiology rooms were inaugurated, making it the largest platform of this type in Europe, entirely dedicated to oncology. Interventional radiology is a so-called "minimally invasive" diagnostic and treatment technique, which uses images to guide access to deep-lying organs, without having to "open up" patients. Gustave Roussy carries out more than 4,000 operations of this type each year.[1]
