French Guiana's university hospital, created in June 2025 from the hospitals of Cayenne, Kourou and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni and the territory's remote health centres. It gives cancer surgery and chemotherapy but has no radiotherapy, so patients travel to mainland France or Martinique for it.
The CHU de Guyane became a university hospital on 16 June 2025. It is a multi-site hospital made up of the hospitals of Cayenne, Kourou and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, three local hospitals (Saint-Georges, Maripasoula, Grand-Santi) and 13 remote prevention and care centres (CDPS), with about 5,000 staff. ARS Guyane's cancer roadmap for 2022 to 2025 says the three hospitals hold four authorisations for cancer surgery (digestive, breast, gynaecological and urological) and give chemotherapy through an association with the Centre Léon Bérard in Lyon, that French Guiana has no radiotherapy centre (87% of radiotherapy is given in mainland France and 13% in Martinique), and that over 2011 to 2014, 55.5% of people with cancer in French Guiana were treated outside the territory. In October 2026 the hospital reported preparing to open academic cancer trials, including the Centre Léon Bérard's PROFILER study, and described the territory's cancer registry and a biological resource centre storing tumours. IAEA's DIRAC has no entry for French Guiana. The coordinates are the Wikidata point for the Cayenne site (Andrée-Rosemon hospital).
