The objective of this study is to show the interest of setting up a drug vigilance card in Oncology in order to reinforce patient safety, develop compliance and avoid drug interactions when the patient consults town professionals or other specialists.
Recent developments in oral chemotherapy and targeted therapies have radically changed cancer patient management; ambulatory care is now common. Oral therapies afford many advantages, improving patient quality of life and autonomy by reducing hospital stays and involving patients in their own care. Optimising the care of cancer patients at home requires the coordinated intervention of hospital and town healthcare professionals and involvement of the patient to detect, prevent, and manage adverse events, avoid drug interactions, and educate patients. Preliminary work in haematology has highlighted (n = 31 patients) the interest of a "drug vigilance card" in three indications (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia, Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia and Multiple Myeloma) with an increase in the town-hospital link. This is an prospective cohort study. Following the announcement consultation, in addition to the personalised care plan, the information about the treatment will be contained in a drug monitoring card that will be given to the patient by the health professional (doctor or nurse). This drug monitoring card should be presented to the health professionals by the patient. During the entire period of treatment, the patient will have a card.
