Details and patient eligibility

About

The innovation is based on the proposal to integrate the patient, just after the announcement, before or at the beginning of the treatment (before the third session of chemotherapy or radiotherapy), in a 5-day training course in a clinical site that inspires peace of mind involving the family caregiver. The therapeutic education programme is led by a multidisciplinary team whose approach is centred on dietetics, supported by tools for encouragement via socio-aesthetics, physical activity and sophrology.

The educational objective is to promote the autonomy of the patient as well as the family caregiver, to involve them in the care pathway alongside the practitioners, with a view to contain undernutrition and reverse the spiral that increases the risks of morbi-mortality.

The aim of the study is to assess patient adherence to the device, the technical and economic feasibility, and its impact on quality of life.
