Book excerpt: The incidence of the cancer didn’t stop increasing during these past few years in France, leading to a medical needs growing in cancer wards. Through this study, we have described the characteristics of the oncology emergencies, how they are care and how the general practitioner is participating in this process. We can estimated, thanks to this prospective survey done within two months, the characteristics of the Paoli Calmettes Institute’s patients coming for emergencies, how they are care, the cooperation between the city and hospital, the degree of involvement of the doctor in emergencies management. We specified reasons and characteristics of 125 patients which have consulted and reasons and characteristics of 514 phone calls for emergency.The main reasons of consultation are: decreasing of general state, pain and infections. The way patients have been taken care during their treatments is modifying the rate of consultation for emergency. 31,2 % of patients have needed complementary exams. In this context, outpatient’s treatment is limited. 16% of consultation could be avoided. All patients referred to hospital by their general practitioner needed medical consultation. General practitioners have a key role in course of care. As it is said in the new Cancer Plan, in order to improve GP’s role and collaboration between the city and hospital, several proposal can be done: improving diffusion of secure internet line and computing system in general practices:improving medical mails (delay, warning signal, plan of treatment, kind of medical supervision Development of computerized medical records like IPC one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Created in partnership with the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP) Structured problem solving approach illustrated through 38 case studies Suitable for acute oncology teams including in the community, and trainees Provides a template for acute service development and emergency treatment The development and delivery of acute oncology services have undoubtedly improved the care of cancer patients, the management of acute complications of cancer and its treatment, and our approaches to diagnosing patients who present with cancer and no obvious primary site. There remains a need to ensure that practitioners are kept fully informed and up-to-date about the appropriate clinical care to be provided in the setting of acute oncology, and to continue a dialogue on the best way to deliver acute oncology services within limited resources. Since the first edition of Problem Solving in Acute Oncology was published there has been continued development and expansion of services. The importance of the involvement of primary care in delivering acute oncology nationally has been increasingly recognized, leading to the development of ever stronger links between the two. Closer working with acute medicine physicians has also improved the care of acute oncology patients; work is ongoing to encourage closer collaboration between acute oncology services and clinical haematology. This updated text is particularly helpful and timely. It will serve as a valuable resource for those who continue to develop excellent acute oncology services, as well as provide a source of training and an update for clinicians working in this challenging clinical area. This book proposes a template that can be used by any professional involved in the planning and delivery of acute oncology care around the world. The book is formally supported by the Association of Cancer Physicians (ACP). This highly patient-centred, readable text will be of value to clinicians, healthcare strategic and operations managers, and doctors in training, in their daily work.
