February 22, 2024 updated by: Rosalie Guegan, Groupe Hospitalier de Bretagne Sud

Interest of a Telephone Paramedical Support Prior to the Radiotherapy Simulation Scanner to Ensure the Realization of Specific Recommendations for the Management of Patients With Prostate Cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of a phone call before the simulation CT scan in management of care of patients with prostate cancer.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

After being informed about the study, all patients who have given written informed consent and who met eligibility requirement will be randomized in a simple blind manner ( investigator) in a 1:1 ration.

The main question it aims to answer is : Does a phone call before the simulation CT scan has an effectiveness on patients compliance of the recommendations and therefore on obtaining quality images.

There is no additional risk of patients involvement.
