Structural and Socio-Spatial Determinants Influencing Care and Survival of Patients with a Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Results of the PANDAURA Cohort.

Background and aims: Pancreatic cancer is highly lethal and often diagnosed at an advanced stage. This cohort study analyzes the impact of care pathways, delays, and socio-spatial determinants on pancreatic cancer patients’ diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Method: Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma newly diagnosed at all stages between January and June 2016 in the AuRA French region were included.

No Geographical Inequalities in Survival for Sarcoma Patients in France: A Reference Networks' Outcome?

The national reference network NETSARC+ provides remote access to specialized diagnosis and the Multidisciplinary Tumour Board (MTB) to improve the management and survival of sarcoma patients in France. The IGéAS research program aims to assess the potential of this innovative organization to address geographical inequalities in cancer management. Using the IGéAS cohort built from the nationwide NETSARC+ database, the individual, clinical, and geographical determinants of the 3-year overall survival of sarcoma patients in France were analyzed.

[Multidisciplinary Team Meeting dedicated to geriatric oncology: Decisions and four month follow-up].

Introduction: MTDM dedicated to geriatric oncology are held at the E. Herriot hospital in Lyon. They bring together oncologist and geriatrician to optimize, through their complementary expertise, the care plan for elderly cancer patients.

Management of Patients with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma in the Real-Life Setting: Lessons from the French National Hospital Database.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a major public health challenge, and faces disparities and delays in the diagnosis and access to care. Our purposes were to describe the medical path of PDAC patients in the real-life setting and evaluate the overall survival at 1 year. We used the national hospital discharge summaries database system to analyze the management of patients with newly diagnosed PDAC over the year 2016 in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (AuRA) (France).

[Development of a grid for characterizing structures offering adapted physical activity programs for people who have had cancer].

As the benefits of physical activity (PA) in oncology field continue to be demonstrated, multiple structures (sports clubs, associations…) develop PA programs and activities to offer cancer patients survivors the opportunity to continue adapted physical activity. Promoted in the 2014-2019 cancer plan as complementary supportive care, the practice of physical activity is legitimized by the 2016 Health Act of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, including the amendment 'prescription health sport', by giving it a legislative framework. In this context of development of new PA offers for cancer patients, it seems necessary to determine and evaluate the structures on their capacities to supervise physical activities for this population with specific needs.

Compliance to regional recommendations for molecular analyses and management of advanced lung cancer patients.

We performed a clinical audit of the management of patients with mutations, 1 year after the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (-TKI) in first-line treatment. Compliance was defined by tumor molecular profiling for stage IIIB and IV non-small-cell lung cancer and first-line treatment as recommended by the French guidelines. Among the 169 -mutated patients, compliance was 76.
