Health-Related Quality of Life Coupled With Therapeutic Information on Compliance to Endocrine Therapy in Breast Cancer

Summary

Only 59% of women with breast cancer (BC) treated with Endocrine Therapy (ET) remain compliant one year upon initial prescription, despite its proven effectiveness in reducing recurrence and improving survival. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in BC has been widely studied and the positive effects of its routine evaluation on the improvement of communication between patients and medical staff and survival have been highlighted. Recently, a link between HRQoL and compliance with ET has been suggested, which would suggest a potential role for HRQoL assessment in improving compliance with ET. With the advent of digital technologies, electronic collection of HRQoL on a tablet is now possible. Since compliance is a multidimensional phenomenon, a multifaceted intervention is necessary to improve it. Thus, the investigators hypothesize that systematic HRQoL assessment (using a tablet, prior to each consultation, with delivery of scores to clinicians) coupled with therapeutic information could have an impact on 12-month compliance with ET in patients with non-metastatic BC.

Routine Assessment of HRQoL coupled with Therapeutic Information

Participants will complete the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and EORTC-QLQ-BR23 questionnaires before their consultation via the CHES software. The scores will then be generated and provided to clinicians in a graphic form, describing scores course. Access to CHES web portal will also be open to participants outside consultation time points, to enable them to monitor HRQoL if necessary. Workshop 1, will help patients to recognize and react to the occurrence of possible adverse effects, and anticipate their occurrence through appropriate preventive means. In workshop 2, participants will have the opportunity to express their representations and experiences related to their diet and the consequences of disease and treatments on diet. In workshop 3, participants can describe their experiences of fatigue and how their life is affected by it. Moreover, they can identify possible causes and finally discuss solutions to better this symptom. Every month, a reminder letter will also be sent to participants.
