Abstract

An innovative approach to post-treatment follow-up of lymphoma, Ambulatory Cancer Assistance (ACA) is a model of care shared between a general practitioner, a hematologist and a nurse coordinator. The role of the nurse coordinator is preponderant in this type of follow-up, which appears to be more effective in detecting medical, psychological and social events than standard follow-up. The AMA-AC helps patients return to their pre-cancer life.

Keywords: après-cancer; lymphoma; lymphome; modèle de suivi partagé; nursing role; post-cancer; rôle infirmier; shared follow-up model.
