Abstract:
Ever since the officialization of oncologic supportive care by the DHOS circular in February 22nd, 2005 and measure 42 of the 2003-2007 Cancer Plan, their content has been enriched for inpatients and outpatients. A guaranteed care package was determined in February 2017 following a study lead by AFSOS and INCa. It adds adapted physical activity and sexual health support to basic supportive care such as pain relief, nutrition, psychology, social support. Supportive cares in pediatric oncology were defined in March 2004. They always were part of holistic pediatric care. The offer in supportive care for children and AYA and the offer in adult supportive care can complete, inspire or improve each other.
