Abstract:
The development of Oral Cancer Therapies (OAT) raises the question of the therapeutic adherence of patients, put in difficulty by the isolation of the patient in the management of treatment and adverse reactions. Accompanying processes are developing, such as Pharmaceutical Consultations (PC), whose monitoring and education objectives are multiple. The PCs and their implementation are presented here, as well as the first results at 15months. The scope of the PCs was first defined, as well as their organization and supporting documents. A patient's medication history is carried out before the PC, then analyzed. The initial PC incorporates a discussion about patient's health habits, followed by information on the OAT, which is closed by the delivery of a follow-up diary. The follow-up PCs, distributed over the course of the first year following the initiation, allow to correct the erroneous knowledge of the patient, to support him in his difficulties and to detect any adverse effects. From May 2019 to August 2020, 81.2% of the 32 patients who initiated OAT took part in CP. A pharmacotherapeutic problem is encountered in 65.4% of them and a drug interaction with alternative or complementary medicines in 62.5% of patients which consuming. The PCs developed provide new elements compared to the recommendations and provide support for patients with toxicities that weaken their medical care throughout their care pathway.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
