## TL;DR

The French state's regional health agency for French Guiana. It wrote the territory's cancer roadmap, which aims to build up local cancer care and screening because many patients must travel abroad for treatment.

## Summary

The ARS de Guyane opened in early April 2010 to carry out regional health policy. Its cancer roadmap for 2022 to 2025, built on the national ten-year cancer strategy, sets two goals: a screening strategy adapted to the populations of the coast and the isolated communes, and more local cancer care linked to the creation of a regional university hospital. It records that French Guiana has no radiotherapy centre, that more than half of people with cancer (55.5% over 2011 to 2014) were treated outside the territory, and that cancer is the second cause of death after circulatory disease, with 128 deaths a year over 2007 to 2014. The coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for the agency on the Avenue Alexis Blaise in Cayenne.
