ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how helpful it can be for cancer patients to have a follow-up meeting with their general practitioner (GP) after they receive their cancer diagnosis. The goal is to see if having this additional consultation can improve the support and care provided to patients with solid tumors, which are growths that can occur in various organs of the body. A total of 171 patients will be involved in the study, and each participant will be monitored for six months.

To participate, patients need to be at least 18 years old, have a confirmed diagnosis of a solid tumor, and be receiving treatment at one of the participating centers. They should also have a registered GP in the Occitanie region of France and be part of the French Social Security system. Those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or involved in another clinical trial cannot join this study. Participants can expect to have their experiences and needs better addressed through this additional GP consultation, which aims to enhance their overall care during a challenging time.
