This is a multicenter, interventional, randomized study among adult patients recently diagnosed with a rare tumor (\<12 months). The study will aim to compare compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan, established for each patient according to national guidelines, when the surveillance is conducted in person by a hospital-based physician (control arm) or remotely by a trained nurse (experimental arm).
The primary objective of this study is to compare 2-year compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan between the two arms. The secondary objectives are to compare between the two arms : * Long-term compliance (5-year follow-up) * Use of care * Oncological events and their management * Supportive care needs The exploratory objectives are to : * Evaluate the costs in terms of medical transportation * Evaluate and compare patients' satisfaction and psychological well-being (in terms of anxiety/depression) * Evaluate the homogeneity of the impact of the intervention according to covariates (gender, tumor pathology, occupational status, and center) * Evaluate the reasons for recruitment failures

RECRUITING2-year compliance to the customized surveillance plan
Compliance is defined by completion of all scheduled examinations (telephone contact, biological, clinical examination and imaging examination) with a margin of + or - 30 days from the scheduled date
Time frame: 2 years
5-year compliance to the customized surveillance plan
Compliance is defined by completion of all scheduled examinations (telephone contact, biological, clinical examination and imaging examination) with a margin of + or - 30 days from the scheduled date
Time frame: 5 years
Drop-out rate
Rate of patients lost to follow-up or quitting the surveillance program
Time frame: 5 years
Description of the use of care
* number of physical consultations at the investigator site * number of emergency room visits for oncological reasons * number of extra-hospital consultations for oncological reasons
Time frame: 5 years
Occurrence and management of oncological events
Occurence and type of oncological event : relapse/progression. The management of oncological events will be evaluated according to three criteria : * completion of an oncological surgery * implementation of a treatment by radiotherapy * implementation of a systemic therapy such as chemotherapy
Time frame: 5 years
Progression-free survival
Time from randomization to first oncological event (progression/relapse) or death from any cause.
Time frame: 5 years
Overall survival
Time from randomization to death from any cause
Time frame: 5 years
Support care needs identified
Support care needs include : * algology consultation * nutrition/diet consultation * psycho-oncology consultation * social worker consultation * job retention consultation
Time frame: 2 years (early termination in case of relapse of the disease)
