Supportive care at CGFL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supportive oncological care<\/strong> includes: \u201call the care and support necessary for sick people throughout the illness in conjunction with specific onco-hemato treatments, where available\u201d (Circular No. DHOS\/SDO\/2005\/101 of February 22, 2005 relating to the organization of cancer care). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Cancer Institute<\/strong> (Inca) defines the basket of supportive care with 4 “basic” care (pain management, dietetics and nutrition, psychological, social, family and professional) and 5 complementary supportive care (physical activity, psychological support for relatives and carers, preservation of fertility, management of sexual disorders, advice on healthy lifestyle) and 2 specific analgesia techniques (hypno analgesia and intrathecal analgesia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supportive care not only helps improve the quality of life<\/strong> but also the lifespan of patients<\/strong>. It helps prevent<\/strong> or limit certain side effects<\/strong> of cancer treatments<\/strong> and thus limits their interruptions, whether temporary or permanent. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

THE DT2S<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Cross-Department of Supportive Care (DT2S) was created in 2018. Gradually strengthened, it allows patients and their loved ones to benefit from supportive care adapted to their situation. In 2024, the CGFL was labeled by the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer as a \u201ccenter of excellence in supportive oncological care\u201d (A MASCC-Designated Center of Excellence in Supportive Care). The CGFL is one of only four French centers thus recognized by the MASCC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day Hospital Supportive Care<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patients admitted to the Day Hospital supportive care unit<\/strong> come from home, post-acute care facilities, or outlying hospitals. The supportive care unit’s system allows for a comprehensive assessment of their needs in a shorter timeframe.All supportive care specialists who work with patients are organized to provide care in their rooms for a half-day. This multi-professional approach<\/strong> is provided without the patient needing to travel. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
