Project summary
The BeONCOsup-project is set up based on recurrent results of different projects of the cancer center, indicating the need to optimize supportive care for cancer patients and relatives:
- Study on ‘The Role of Intramural Health Professionals in the Early Sensitization of Belgian Workers With Cancer to their Return-to-Work’ (https://www.e-cancer.be/fr/step/etude-pilote-le-role-des-equipes-soignan...)
- Round table « Aftercare » (https://collegeoncologie.be/wp content/uploads/2021/08/FRnotepolitique_soinsaprescancer_0.pdf)
- EMPCAN project (https://www.e-cancer.be/fr/empcan-study-protocol-population-based-cohort...)
- BePro project (https://www.sciensano.be/nl/projecten/de-ontwikkeling-en-een-plan-voor-d...)
- BE Cancer Barometer (including link: https://www.cancer.be/barometrecancer)
With the project we want to develop a supporting tool ‘Belgian Handbook for Oncological Supportive Care’ for healthcare professionals in referring cancer patients to appropriate supportive care (needs-based approach). The main objectives of the project are:
- Developing an exhaustive list of the medical, (onco)psychosocial, palliative, socio-professional and social needs of cancer patients and their relatives
- Identifying existing supportive care to meet these needs
- Optimizing access to supportive oncology care for patients and their relative
- Ensuring equitable access to supportive oncology care
To achieve the objectives of the project, Working Groups (WGs) will be set up for 5 domains of supportive cancer care. The following domains have been proposed:
- Medical follow-up
- (Onco)psychosocial care
- Palliative care
- Socio-professional integration
- Social care
The WGs will be organised by domain to discuss the needs of cancer patients with different experts and by speciality to discuss each need in-depth.
