Brief summary

INTRODUCTION: Approximately 44% of cancer survivors experience a deteriorated quality of life 5 years after diagnosis due to late onset of complications related to cancer treatments. The objective of the study is to evaluate the incidence rates of treatment-related complications, identify sub-clinical abnormalities and risk factors in patients participating in the PASCA post-treatment program. METHOD: PASCA is a single-center, interventional cohort study of adult patients who received at least chemotherapy and with a complete remission to a testicular germ cell tumor, primary non-metastatic invasive breast carcinoma, high-grade soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, acute myeloid leukemia, Hodgkin's or aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Four assessment visits will be scheduled at 1 month (T1), 6 months (T2), 24 months (T3) and 60 months (T4) after completion of treatment. During these visits, 19 complications will be screened and follow-up care will be systematically offered to the health professional concerned by the complication in case of a positive result. The screening will contain the following elements: screening self-questionnaires, quality of life questionnaire, 12 biological parameters, a urinalysis evaluating hematuria, proteinuria, and leukocyturia, a spirometry, an electrocardiogram, 5 tests evaluating physical condition, vital signs and the perimetric measurement between both arms. DISCUSSION: This systematic screening could highlight a number of complications occurring after cancer treatments. Sub-clinical abnormalities and new risk factors could also be identified. This new organization of care could improve the quality of life of adult cancer survivors.

Interventions

OTHERPASCA intervention

At each study visit (T1 = 1 month, T2 = 6 months, T3 = 24 months, T4 = 60 months), an exhaustive screening of complications as well as associated sub-clinical abnormalities and risk factors previously identified as such in the literature, will be conducted. Management of complications consists of referring the patient to a healthcare professional belonging to the PASCA network based on the test results. Referral is defined by referring to pre-established decision trees. It is made to a specialist physician, a health professional from the paramedical field or the patient's general practitioner who confirms the diagnosis if necessary and initiates the patient's care and follow-up. These patients also receive their usual follow-up in the context of their tumor pathology in oncology and onco-hematology.
