## TL;DR

Luxembourg's national radiotherapy centre, in Esch-sur-Alzette. It treats people with cancer who need radiotherapy, whether to cure or to relieve symptoms, and works with all the country's hospitals.

## Summary

The Centre François Baclesse describes itself as the Centre National de Radiothérapie of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg: a not-for-profit health establishment treating patients with an indication for curative or palliative radiotherapy, working with all public and private hospitals in Luxembourg and the Greater Region, and taking part in cancer research and training. Its services page lists three linear accelerators (two Halcyon and one Ethos) for intensity-modulated and volumetric arc therapy, a CyberKnife robotic linear accelerator for stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery, image-guided radiotherapy on all accelerators, deep inspiration breath hold for left breast treatment, iodine-125 seed brachytherapy for prostate cancer, gynaecological brachytherapy with applicators placed under anaesthesia at the CHEM hospital, and concomitant chemotherapy. IAEA's DIRAC database lists one radiotherapy centre in Luxembourg. It is a different institution from the French cancer centre of the same name in Caen. The coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for rue Émile Mayrisch, Esch-sur-Alzette (postcode 4240), not the building.
