Lausanne-Villigen return

Nowhere in the world have so many ocular tumours been irradiated with protons as at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI. But before the affected patients go to Villigen, they have to visit Lausanne: for pretreatment at the Jules Gonin Ophthalmic Hospital. The more than 30-year-long collaboration between the hospital and PSI is unique, and in most cases it saves the patient's diseased eye. There are places in Switzerland where time passes more quickly and the pace of everyday life seems faster. One of those places is around Ann Schalenbourg. When the tall, energetic woman rushes into her medical office, she sparkles with energy, and her white coat flutters over the black deux-pièces. Dr. Ann Schalenbourg is head of the ocular oncology department for adults at the Jules Gonin Ophthalmic Hospital in Lausanne.
