The prognostic of certain cancers improved significantly in recent years thanks not only to the launch of innovative treatments but also to progress made in the diagnostic field. Thus, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became paramount to help characterizing tumors and selecting the most pertinent treatments. The survey conducted by a multi stakeholder committee, at the end of 2022, with 103 actors of the management of cancer patients (public and private centers, labs, prescribers, biologists, pathologists, direction) confirmed the heterogeneity of use of NGS tests across France due to, mainly, the lack of systematic reimbursement of related costs.

- A nationwide survey in France asked breast cancer survivors about their thoughts on personalizing endocrine therapy (ET) to make it better for patients.
- Most participants agreed that schedules and pill types should be customized, but many didn't have a strong opinion about how the medicine looked.
- Many survivors wanted more information and tools, like a mobile app, to help manage side effects and understand ET's effects on their daily lives.
Unlabelled: This French study aimed to evaluate oncologists' and patients' perception of physical activity, particularly adapted physical activity, in order to identify the obstacles and levers to its practice in patients with metastatic cancer.
Method: Between October 2019 and March 2020, 60 medical oncologists and 305 patients with metastatic cancer were asked to fill in a self-completed questionnaire.
Results: The benefits of physical activity are recognised by most oncologists and patients.
Introduction: Today, patients with lung cancer and their relatives can easily search information on the Internet and express themselves online.
Methods: Within this web-ethnographic research, we found, based on 246 search terms related to lung cancer, and collected, a sample of 136 online conversations that were published between January 2004 and September 2018, including 1220 messages by 762 authors.
Results: The authors of messages, many of them close relatives of patients (35%), share their experience (34%).
Introduction: Fatigue is a frequent and disturbing symptom in oncology but remains undertreated. Given the absence of effective drug treatment, non-pharmacological interventions have a prominent place in the treatment of fatigue. However, they are relatively unknown by professionals who lack of clear points of reference to refer patients with confidence.
