Telephone Paramedical Support Prior to the Radiotherapy Simulation Scanner for Patients With Prostate Cancer (RTEPROST)

Telephone Paramedical Support Prior to the Radiotherapy Simulation Scanner for Patients With Prostate Cancer

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.

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.

Consultation with the onco radiotherapeutic and submission of the recommendations to follow before the simulation CT Scan before the radiotherapy

Consultation with the onco radiotherapeutic and submission of the recommendations to follow before the simulation CT Scan before the radiotherapy and a phone call by a radiotherapy technician

Assess the value of a telephone call in terms of compliance recommendations for preparation (empty rectum and full bladder) necessary to perform the CT scanner simulation in the management of patients with prostate cancer.

From the day of the consultation with the radiotherapist to the day of the CT scanner, up to three month after the inclusion

Assess the impact of a telephone call upstream of the simulation scanner on patient preparation according to recommendations.

From the day of the consultation with the radiotherapist to the day of the CT scanner, up to three month after the inclusion

Assess the impact of a telephone call upstream of the simulation scanner on reading the recommendation sheet given to the patient during the announcement medical consultation.

From the day of the consultation with the radiotherapist to the day of the CT scanner, up to three month after the inclusion
