Brief summary

The goal of this clinal trial is to compare the effectiveness of nurse-led teleconsultation with usual care (intervention group) on psychological distress in patients with primary malignant tumors of the central nervous system between diagnosis and first anti-cancer treatment, versus usual care alone (control group). Participants will be randomized into two groups : * group A) intervention: usual care + nurse teleconsultation for psychological support * group B) control: usual care alone Enrolment = Day0 (D0) Participants will : * groups A and B: D0: complete 4 questionnaires (Quality of Life, Screening for Distress, Screening for Anxiety and Depression, Social Support Questionnaire) * Group A : D0+2/4 das : nursing teleconsultation for psychological support * Groups A and B: D0+10days : telephone call to complete the same 4 questionnaires as at inclusion * Group A : D0+15days: semi-directive interview, at home, for voluntary patients.

Detailed description

The expected benefits are as follows: For the patient : * Reduction in pre-treatment psychological distress * Reduced pre-treatment anxiety and depression * Better understanding of disease and treatments * Better adherence to the care proposed in the treatment pathway * Reduced stress during first hospital treatment For healthcare professionals : * Early detection of psychological distress * Early detection of unmet needs and appropriate individualized responses * Establishment of a climate of trust between patient and caregiver * Improved professional practices For the healthcare system : * Lower healthcare costs (fewer anxiolytic treatments, etc.) * Therapy to be integrated into the treatment pathway of patients with central nervous system cancer * Reduced socio-territorial inequalities in healthcare provision
