It treats cancer in adults and children, and its southern site in Saint-Pierre gives radiotherapy and brachytherapy.","summary":"The Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de La Réunion has, since February 2012, brought together the former Félix Guyon hospital in Saint-Denis and the Groupe Hospitalier Sud Réunion in Saint-Pierre. Its own presentation lists cancer care, haematology and oncology, and nuclear medicine including PET, radiotherapy and brachytherapy among its services. The radiotherapy and brachytherapy department is at CHU Sud in Saint-Pierre, with a Varian Halcyon, a Varian Edge for stereotactic treatment and a dedicated 4D planning scanner, and also holds consultations at the Centre Hospitalier Ouest Réunion in Saint-Paul. The paediatric oncology and haematology service at the northern site has a protected unit of 7 laminar-flow beds and 7 conventional beds, treats children to the protocols of the French society for childhood cancers (SFCE), and is part of La Réunion's cancer network, Oncorun. A cancer coordination centre (3C Sud Réunion) runs the multidisciplinary meetings in the south.\n\nThe ARS La Réunion's working document of April 2023 for the regional health scheme, using 2021 hospital statistics, recorded 713 adults treated with external radiotherapy at CHU Sud that year and 64 adults treated with brachytherapy, CHU Sud being the island's authorised brachytherapy site. The coordinates are the Wikidata point for the hospital.","asOf":"2026-11-11","links":[{"label":"CHU de La Réunion: presentation","url":"https://www.chu-reunion.fr/le-chu-reunion/"},{"label":"CHU de La Réunion: radiotherapy and brachytherapy service","url":"https://www.chu-reunion.fr/service/radiotherapie-curietherapie/"},{"label":"CHU de La Réunion: paediatric oncology and haematology","url":"https://www.chu-reunion.fr/service/oncologie-pediatrique/"},{"label":"CHU de La Réunion: cancer coordination centre","url":"https://www.chu-reunion.fr/service/centre-de-coordination-en-cancerologie/"},{"label":"ARS La Réunion: external radiotherapy and brachytherapy, regional health scheme working document (PDF, April 2023)","url":"https://www.lareunion.ars.sante.fr/system/files/2023-07/Radioth%C3%A9rapie%20externe%2C%20curieth%C3%A9rapie%20.pdf"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["reunion-cancer-registry","ars-la-reunion","clinique-sainte-clotilde-reunion"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"Saint-Denis","country":"RE","lat":-20.891,"lng":55.444,"institutionType":"hospital","website":"https://www.chu-reunion.fr","programs":["External beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy (CHU Sud, Saint-Pierre)","Paediatric oncology and haematology","Cancer coordination centre (3C Sud Réunion)"]},"route":"/institutions/chu-la-reunion/","neighbours":{"institution":[{"id":"ars-la-reunion","kind":"institution","name":"Agence Régionale de Santé La Réunion","route":"/institutions/ars-la-reunion/"},{"id":"clinique-sainte-clotilde-reunion","kind":"institution","name":"Clinique Sainte-Clotilde","route":"/institutions/clinique-sainte-clotilde-reunion/"},{"id":"reunion-cancer-registry","kind":"institution","name":"Registre général des cancers de La Réunion","route":"/institutions/reunion-cancer-registry/"}]}}
