Hospitalization

Depending on your treatment, chemotherapy, surgery, or even specific interventional imaging treatments to treat your cancer, you may be hospitalized for a shorter or longer period. At the ICM, there are 159 full inpatient beds.

Outpatient surgery service

For some procedures, you can arrive at the ICM and exit the same day after the procedure. This type of hospitalization is very comfortable since it allows you to go back to your loved ones and your usual environment the same evening.
This option is only offered if certain conditions are met. In particular, the healthcare team will make sure that you are not left alone at home after the procedure.
The ICM Outpatient Unit now has 12 places.

Ambulatory medicine service

This service is made up of 8 beds intended to receive patients under medical care with treatment during the day and 4 beds reserved for patients requiring the intervention of a supportive care team (algology, nutrition, oncogeriatrics…).
If the state of health requires it, conventional hospitalization may be offered.

Personal effects and valuables
A safe is available in each room. An explanatory note will guide you in its use. The ICM is not responsible for any theft that may occur during your stay.
It is advisable not to carry large sums of money or jewelry.
Your dental and hearing prostheses, glasses or contact lenses are under your responsibility. An identified box may be offered to you by the healthcare team.

Several treatments can be administered over a day. This is the case with outpatient chemotherapy, for example. The patient then has an appointment and once the treatment is finished, he can go directly to his home. The ICM has 36 places in day hospitalization.

The nature of the medical care will determine the type of hospitalization offered. Each of them requires specific procedures. The medical staff at the ICM will guide you to prepare yourself properly.

Staff are identified by name and function on an identification badge. Throughout your stay, you will be required to meet the various members of the medical team (doctors, heads of clinics, interns, etc.) and of the healthcare team (health manager, nurses, caregivers, hospital service workers, manipulators, stretcher bearers, etc.).
They are at your disposal to meet all of your needs.

On your arrival, you must register using your ‘carte vitale’ at the reception terminals in order to indicate your presence.
The admissions staff will then call you to put together your file.
