Introduction: Patients suffering from cancer are often managed by multiple health professionals. General practitioners with specific skills in oncology could facilitate care coordination between hospital and general practice in the management of these patients. To explore this hypothesis, we run a randomised clinical trial, called 'Concertation de REtour à DOmicile, CREDO'.

Background: To promote improved coordination between general practice and hospital, the French clinical trial CREDO ("Concertation de REtour à DOmicile") is testing an innovative experimental consultation for patients with metastatic cancer who are returning home. This consultation involves the patient, the patient's referring GP (GP) and a GP with specific skills in oncology (GP) in a specialized care center. The objective of our study is to explore the satisfaction of GPs about this consultation, in the phase of interaction between GP and GP.

Objectives: The objective was to assess the level of stigmatisation of psychiatric patients by medical interns specialising in general practice (GP), and to assess the influencing factors of stigmatisation.

Methods: A national survey was carried out among interns in general practice (GP) contacted through their local associations from December 10, 2019 to March 9, 2020. An online questionnaire was diffused.

Objective: To analyse whether patient-general practitioner (GP) interaction, measured by their disagreement, varies among overweight or obese patients compared with normal-weight patients.

Methods: Twenty-seven GPs and 585 patients participated in the quantitative phase of the multidisciplinary INTERMEDE project and answered "mirrored" questionnaires collecting both GPs and patients' perceptions on information and advice given at the end of the consultation. Multilevel logistic regressions were performed to explore associations between patient body mass index (BMI) and patient-GP disagreement on information and advice given during the consultation.

Objective: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the impact of socio-territorial characteristics on mammography and pap smear uptake according to the place of residence in the recommended age groups, and second outside the recommended age groups.

Setting And Participants: We used an existing dataset of 1 027 039 women which combines data from the Health Insurance information systems, with census data from Midi-Pyrénées, France.

Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: Our outcome was, for each woman, the uptake of the pap smear and the uptake of the mammography during the year.

Background: The general practitioner (GP) is central to managing patients with cancer, whose numbers are increasing worldwide. The GP's involvement requires better coordination between involved partners, in particular oncologists and GPs.

Objectives: To conduct a feasibility study of remote participation of GPs in multi-disciplinary consultation meetings (MCMs).

Background: Targeted Therapies (TT) are among the therapeutic innovations for cancer treatment in outpatient settings. TT-related Adverse Events (AEs) are a source of loss of opportunity for patients if their management is inappropriate.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the AE frequency and severity as reported by patients with cancer who received TT in ambulatory settings.

Introduction: During the active phase of treatment, major difficulties appear in the transmission and quality of the information communicated to the General Practitioner (GP). Our objective was to carry out an inventory of the coordination tools used to improve exchanges between the hospital and the GP in the management of the patient suffering from cancer during this phase.

Material And Method: A scoping review was conducted using MEDLINE databases via PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science.

In response to the complexity of medical care in oncology, 2 years ago, we designed a new teaching method (SPOC, Small Private Online Course) to improve cancer treatment and its management by emphasizing the community-hospital interface. The educational objective of this study was to evaluate after 1 year if the interest for this teaching remained constant over the long term to meet both educational and financial requirements. We designed a questionnaire including 18 questions grouped in 3 main parts describing the profile of the participants, his/her own experience, and the current utilization of the SPOC.

Background: High levels of stigma towards patients with substance use disorder (SUD) have been found in health professionals and medical students.

Objectives: To assess the capability of residents in general practice to diagnose SUD correctly; to assess their stigmatization of patients with SUD and to assess the correlation between both variables. We hypothesized a negative correlation.

Background: Oncology involves complex care and multidisciplinary management of patients; however, misinformation and ineffective communication remain problematic.

Objective: The educational objective of our study was to develop a new teaching method to improve cancer treatment and management by emphasizing the link between hospitals (inpatients) and their surrounding communities (outpatients).

Methods: A team of 22 professionals from public and private institutions developed a small private online course (SPOC).

Background: Deaf people represent 0.1% of the French population and their access to public health campaigns is limited due to their frequent illiteracy and the infrequent use of sign language in campaigns. There is also a lack of general health knowledge in spite of the existence of French Deaf Care Units (UASS).

Background: Consequences of inappropriate prescriptions and polymedication in patients suffering from cancer are beginning to be well documented. However, the methods used to evaluate these consequences are often discussed. Few studies evaluate the risk of interaction with anticancer drugs in elderly patients suffering from cancer.

Background: The script concordance test (SCT) is a validated method of examining students' clinical reasoning. Medical students' professional skills are assessed during their postgraduate years as they study for a specialist qualification in general practice. However, no specific provision is made for assessing their clinical reasoning during their postgraduate study.

Purpose: As the incidence of invasive breast cancer will increase with age, the number of elderly patients with a diagnosis metastatic breast cancer will also rise. But the use of cytotoxic drugs in elderly metastatic breast cancer patients is not systematic and is dreaded by medical oncologists. The need for prospective oncologic data from this population seems increasingly obvious.

Purpose: The risk of venous thromboembolic event (VTE) in multiple myeloma is particularly increased. Current guidelines recommend systematic VTE prophylaxis with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) or low weight molecular heparin (LWMH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) in high-risk patients, based on treatment received [e.g.

Background: Cancer care in people over 75 years of age is particularly complex and requires collaboration between oncologists, geriatricians, GPs and other professional and family carers. To improve the care pathways for elderly people living with cancer, the French health authorities have created a network of oncologists and geriatricians; however, GPs experience difficulties in establishing their place in this network.

Objective: This study aimed to analyse the impressions of French GPs involved in the care of elderly patients with cancer, including their feelings regarding their relationships with their oncologist and geriatrician colleagues.

Purpose: The primary care physician (PCP) is central to cancer patients' management. Announcement of the diagnosis is a critical time for patients, even if they wish to be fully informed. The French National Cancer Plan, developed 10 years ago, includes a diagnosis disclosure procedure (DDP) to be used by oncologists, which makes specific provision for a time of communication with PCPs.
