Allo - Cancer - Thrombosis (AlloTC)

Management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cancer is complex and require the intervention of many specialized health professionals, in hospital but also at home and during follow-up.

The AlloTC project aims to integrate the management of VTE within the multidisciplinary care pathway of the patient with cancer, in order to improve the management of VTE in patients with cancer: optimize treatments and follow-up with appropriate anticoagulants, monitor the implementation of good clinical practice, promote patient involvement and adherence.

The objective of this monocentric study is to evaluate the efficiency of the integration of the therapeutic management of VTE into a specific management of patient with cancer and to set up a specialized "AlloTC" team that coordinates this course of care.

For that purpose, the management of VTE and outcome of patients with cancer and VTE will be compared between two periods : traditional management and management with the "AlloTC" team.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Historical cohort
Patients with venous thromboembolism and cancer who follow traditional management of venous thromboembolism
AlloTC cohort
Patients with venous thromboembolism and cancer who follow "AlloTC" specific management. "AlloTC" specific care path way develop a personalized care plan (PPS) and ensure the transmission of data (to all the interlocutors: patients and caregivers) at each step of the patient care path.
Setting up a specific care path "AlloTC" for management of TVE in patients with cancer with a specific coordination nurse within the "AlloTC" multidisciplinary team as a privileged interlocutor for health professionals and patients with the aim of simplifying the care pathways and ensuring a hospital-city interface organized in collaboration with the attending physician, to develop and publicize tools available for patients and caregivers (information documents, patient monitoring protocols, etc.)
