Facility Tour at Cyclhad
Join us for the opportunity to visit Cyclhad, one of the few particle therapy centers in Europe, located in Caen, Normandy.
This advanced facility, bringing together leading research and technology, is dedicated to advancing cancer treatment through multi-particle therapy. During this guided tour, you will gain insight into the technologies and research that are transforming cancer care.
Why Cyclhad is a Global Leader in Particle Therapy
CYCLHAD is far more than a treatment facility. It is a hub of scientific, clinical, and technological innovation, embedded within an exceptional ecosystem that brings together a leading cancer center, a university hospital, world-class research institutes, and higher education, just minutes from the sea.

Since 2018, CYCLHAD has been delivering proton therapy in close partnership with the Centre François Baclesse, surpassing 30,000 treatment sessions to date. The center operates the IBA ProteusONE system, which currently treats the highest number of patients per year in Europe (IBA data), reflecting both clinical excellence and operational maturity.

CYCLHAD’s ambition extends well beyond today’s standards. Specializing in proton, carbon, and helium ion therapies, the center will reach a new milestone from 2028 with the C400 IONS accelerator from NHa (Normandy Hadrontherapy) – the world’s first compact multi-ion system dedicated to cancer treatment. This breakthrough technology will position CYCLHAD at the forefront of next-generation particle therapy.

Limited Availability: The visit is limited to 40 participants. Registration is required on the registration page.
