Incidental findings in a series of 2500 gene panel tests for a genetic predisposition to cancer: Results and impact on patients.
2020
Abstract With next generation sequencing, physicians are faced with more complex and uncertain data, particularly incidental findings (IF). Guidelines for the return of IF have been published by learned societies. However, little is known about how patients are affected by these results in a context of oncogenetic testing. Over 4 years, 2500 patients with an indication for genetic testing underwent a gene cancer panel. If an IF was detected, patients were contacted by a physician/genetic counsellor and invited to take part in a semi-structured interview to assess their understanding of the result, the change in medical care, the psychological impact, and the transmission of results to the f…

Diagnostic yield of a one sample immunochemical test at different cut-off values in an organised screening programme for colorectal cancer
2013
Abstract Background Quantitative immunochemical faecal occult blood tests have become the recommended tests for colorectal cancer screening. The aim of this study was to complete our knowledge on the performance of one of the quantitative immunochemical tests available, FOB-Gold, and to propose a possible strategy for an organised screening programme. Patients and methods Within the French organised screening programme, 23,231 average-risk individuals, aged 50–74 performed both a 3-day Hemoccult test and a 1-day FOB-Gold test. Performances of the immunochemical test were evaluated at different cut-off levels. Results The positivity rate for the Hemoccult was 2.1% and for the FOB-Gold varied…
Evaluation of efficacy and efficiency of a pragmatic intervention by a social worker to support informal caregivers of elderly patients (The ICE Stud…
2016
Medical progress and the lifestyle modification have prolonged life expectancy, despite the development of chronic diseases. Support and care for older subjects are often provided by a network of informal caregivers composed of family, friends and neighbors, who are essential in helping older persons to continue living at home. It has been shown that the extent and diversity of informal tasks may jeopardize the physical, mental and social wellbeing of caregivers. The aim of the Informal Carers of Elderly cohort is to define, through a longitudinal study, profiles of caregivers of older patients with a diagnosis of one of the following diseases: cancer (breast, prostate, colorectal), neurode…
Cost-effectiveness of screening for colorectal cancer in France using a guaiac test versus an immunochemical test
2010
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the cost and the effectiveness of two biennial fecal occult blood screening tests for colorectal cancer: a guaiac nonrehydrated test (G-FOBT) and an immunochemical test (I-FOBT) with the absence of screening.Methods: A Markov model was developed to compare these strategies in a general population of subjects aged 50 to 74 over a 20-year period.Results: Compared with the absence of screening, G-FOBT and I-FOBT were associated with a decrease in colorectal cancer mortality of 17.4 percent and 25.2 percent, respectively. With regard to cost-effectiveness, expressed as cost per life-year gained, I-FOBT was the most effective and most costly alter…

Efficiency of telemedicine for acute stroke: a cost-effectiveness analysis from a French pilot study
2020
AbstractObjectivesTelestroke is an effective way to improve care and health outcomes for stroke patients. This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of a French telestroke network.MethodsA decision analysis model was built using population-based data. We compared short-term clinical outcomes and costs for the management of acute ischemic stroke patients before and after the implementation of a telestroke network from the point of view of the national health insurance system. Three effectiveness endpoints were used: hospital death, death at 3 months, and severe disability 3 months after stroke (assessed with the modified Rankin scale). Most clinical and economic parameters were estimated fr…
Identification of resources and skills developed by partners of patients with advanced colon cancer: a qualitative study
2018
National audience; Les aidants familiaux jouent un rôle central auprès des patients présentant un cancer de stade avancé. Parmi les proches susceptibles d’apporter une aide aux personnes malades, les conjoints, en raison des liens qui les unissent et parce qu’ils partagent leur vie quotidienne, sont sans doute les plus confrontés à la maladie. Ils sont également majoritairement désignés comme étant l’aidant principal. L’irruption de la maladie et le besoin d’accompagnement qu’elle nécessite, viennent bouleverser en profondeur les différents équilibres structurant leur quotidien et leur organisation. Ils viennent aussi questionner la nature des relations qu’ils entretiennent, dans une divers…
The cost-effectiveness of neonatal versus prenatal screening for congenital toxoplasmosis
2019
BackgroundCongenital Toxoplasmosis (CT) can have severe consequences. France, Austria, and Slovenia have prenatal screening programs whereas some other countries are considering universal screening to reduce congenital transmission and severity of infection in children. The efficiency of such programs is debated increasingly as seroprevalence among pregnant women and incidence of congenital toxoplasmosis show a steady decrease. In addition, uncertainty remains regarding the effectiveness of pre- and postnatal treatments.MethodTo identify cost-effective strategies, prenatal and neonatal screenings were compared using a decision-analytic model based on French guidelines and current knowledge …

Screening for colorectal cancer with immunochemical faecal occult blood tests.
2012
Population-based studies have shown that guaiac faecal occult blood testing followed by colonoscopy in case of positivity can reduce colorectal cancer mortality. However these tests have been criticised for their fairly low sensitivity. For this reason attention has been given to alternative tests. The aim of this paper is to review the evidence for screening for colorectal cancer using qualitative immunochemical faecal occult blood tests. For the complete range of tested cut-off values, immunochemical faecal occult blood tests lead to higher diagnostic yield, improved sensitivity and greater participation. The optimal number of samples and the optimal cut-off value has to suit local resour…
Immunochemical faecal occult blood tests are superior to guaiac-based tests for the detection of colorectal neoplasms
2008
The aim of this study was to compare the performance of a guaiac-based faecal occult blood test (G-FOBT) with that of an immunochemical faecal occult blood test (I-FOBT). A total of 17,215 average risk individuals aged 50 to 74 enrolled in a population-based organised screening programme and performed a 3-day G-FOBT and a 2-day I-FOBT simultaneously. Among participants, 3.1% were found positive for the G-FOBT and 6.9% for the I-FOBT (p<10(-4)). Among the 1205 participants who tested positive and underwent a colonoscopy, the number of detected cancers and advanced adenomas was respectively 2.6 times higher and 3.5 times higher with the I-FOBT than with the G-FOBT. The positive predictive val…
Telemedicine: Economic and clinical evaluation of the management of ischemic stroke
2017
Summary Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is a therapeutic emergency that requires prompt care in a stroke unit (SU). In order to reduce regional inequalities and to promote uniformity in access to this technique, which is effective when carried out quickly, telemedicine-assisted thrombolysis was developed in Burgundy within the Telestroke system. At the moment, no study compared costs (i.e. expenditures) and revenues (i.e. funding) associated with the management of patients presenting an IS in Burgundy after the implementation of the Telestroke system according to the management strategy: patients undergoing thrombolysis directly in a SU or Tele-thrombolysis in a local hospital (LH) receiv…
Logiques de choix des médecins sur la prise en charge thérapeutique des patients atteints d’un cancer : analyse qualitative du contenu des discours, …
2018
National audience; Contexte : En France, la question de la poursuite, de la limitation ou de l’arrêt des traitements palliatifs en cas de cancer métastatique non résécable fait l’objet de débats nourris. Plusieurs études internationales estiment qu’entre 10 et 20% des patients atteints de cancer reçoivent une chimiothérapie dans le dernier mois de leur vie (Benson, 2001 ; Niedern Tollåli, Dalhaug et al. 2014 ; Earle, Landrum, Souza et al. 2008 ; Ho, Barbera, Saskin, et al. 2011). L’une des raisons de cette prescription est la surestimation faite par les médecins de l’espérance de vie de leurs patients (Nieder et al., 2014 ; Christakis & Lamont, 2000). Pourtant, ces traitements peuvent dimin…

Analyse économique des essais cliniques internationaux en cancérologie
2018
International audience; In oncology, as in other fields of medicine, international multicentre clinical trials came into being so as to include a sufficient number of subjects to investigate a clinical situation. The existence of tight budgetary constraints and the desire to make the best use of the resources available have resulted in the development of economic evaluations associated with these trials, which, thanks to their level of evidence and their size, provide particularly relevant material. Nonetheless, economic evaluations alongside international clinical trials raise specific questions of methodology with regard to both the design and the analysis of the results. Indeed, the cost…
