ZAP-X Lariboisière

The AP-HP Nord-Université de Paris Cité GHU (Lariboisière, Saint Louis and Beaujon hospitals) and the Institut de Radiothérapie Hartmann (ELSAN Group) are cooperating to provide patients with cutting-edge technology designed for radiosurgical treatment of tumor and non-tumor pathologies of the head and neck.

What is radiosurgery?

Radiosurgery is a therapeutic modality that consists in irradiating very small areas of the body.
high-precision treatment of a brain lesion using a crossing of mini X-ray beams.
This technique is particularly useful for treating deep-seated tumours for which the
would be too dangerous to perform surgery. It can sometimes be offered
as an alternative to a gesture. It is preferred for small to medium-sized lesions.

A simplified care pathway

In 2025, with the installation of a ZAP-X on the Lariboisière site, the range of therapeutic tools available to the neurosurgery teams at both Hôpital Lariboisière and Hôpital Beaujon will complete the offer of this center of excellence and contribute to simplifying care paths. The expertise of neurosurgeons from the Lariboisière and Beaujon hospitals, and of radiotherapists from the Institut de Radiothérapie Hartmann and the Saint Louis hospital, will thus be pooled under a single roof.
site around a single innovative project.
This latest-generation particle gas pedal is self-armored and delivers radiation under gyroscopic conditions, and will be used by specialist oncologists.
The radiotherapists at Hôpital Saint-Louis and at the Institut de Radiation
Hartmann will carry out treatments in sector 1, with no extra charges.
