Institute of Women’s Cancers
Better understand, prevent and treat women's cancers.
Who are we?
By placing women at the heart of research and innovation, the Institute of Women's Cancers is committed to lastingly reducing the incidence and mortality of these cancers, while fundamentally transforming the patient experience.
Co-founded by Institut Curie, PSL University, and Inserm, the Institute of Women's Cancers is a University Hospital Institute (IHU) and a recipient of the France 2030 excellence label.
The Institute was founded on a core conviction: that preventing, treating, and supporting patients with these cancers requires moving beyond a tumor-centered approach.
What sets it apart is a holistic, highly personalized model at the cutting edge of adaptive medicine — one that accounts for women's biological, clinical, psychological, and social trajectories throughout their disease and beyond.
Physicians, healthcare professionals, researchers, data scientists, and experts in humanities and social sciences — working hand in hand with patients themselves — are bringing their expertise together to address breast and gynecological cancers across the full continuum of care: prevention, diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and long-term quality of life.
