Impact of a Multidisciplinary End-of-treatment Day Hospital on the Quality of Life of Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer
Impact Evaluation of a Multidisciplinary End-of-treatment Day Hospital on the Quality of Life of Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Rational: 800 cases of cancer per year are diagnosed in France among Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA). This population has been specifically targeted since 2008 by the INCa, leading to the development of structures entirely dedicated to its management. Indeed, the occurrence of cancer in this period of transition leads to specific problems, which require a special attention. The various measures taken since then (Cancer Plan 2014-2019, DGOS instruction in 2016, 10-year strategy to fight cancer 2021-2030) have enabled the implementation of multidisciplinary structures, resulting in better access to care, and consideration of the social, family and relational dimensions of this population. However, the transition from the end of oncology treatment to the follow-up period remains a sensitive period, generating both positive (relief, joy) and negative feelings (uncertainty, feelings of abandonment, anxiety). The investigators therefore hypothesize that the creation of a multidisciplinary end-of-treatment day hospital (DH) involving at least one medical interview, one psychological consultation and one social interview, would improve the quality of life of these former patients during the first year of oncology follow-up. Method: This is a clinical research study conducted in a single centre. At their last visit for treatment, the study will be offered to patients. If the participants agree to participate, they will be randomized to benefit from DH in addition to their planned follow-up with their oncologist. The main objective is to compare the quality of life of former patients according to participation in DH or not. 210 patients will be included for a 20-month recruitment period. Expected results: Throughout the development of DH, the investigators plan to improve the quality of life of former patients during this transitional phase.
