Adherence Rate to Diagnosis Imaging Guidelines for Patients With a Deep Sarcoma Tumor (Before Implementation of the Public Health Intervention Programme. Primary · Assessed at surgery

Imaging criterion for patients with a deep tumor was considered "compliant" if patients received magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or scan of the tumor zone before surgery. Adherence rate was calculated as the number of patients with "compliant imaging criterion" among patients with a deep tumor.

Adherence Rate to Diagnosis Imaging Guidelines for Patients With a Superficial Sarcoma Tumor (Before Implementation of the Public Health Intervention Programme) Primary · Assessed at surgery

Imaging criterion for patients with a superficial tumor was considered "compliant" if patients received an MRI, scan, or ultrasound before surgery. Adherence rate was calculated as the number of patients with "compliant imaging criterion" among patients with a superficial tumor.

Adherence Rate to Diagnosis Technique (Biopsy) Guidelines for Patients With Deep Tumors Over 5 cm in Size or Tumors <5 cm Increasing in Size (Before Implementation of the Public Health Intervention Programme) Primary · Assessed up to 2 months following diagnosis

Diagnosis technique (biopsy) was considered "compliant" for deep tumors over 5 cm in size or tumors \<5 cm increasing in size if the diagnosis was made from a percutaneous or surgical biopsy. Adherence rate was calculated as the number of patients with "compliant diagnosis technique" among patients with deep tumors over 5 cm in size or tumors \<5 cm increasing in size.

Adherence Rate to Discussion in Multidisciplinary Team Meeting (Before Implementation of the Public Health Intervention Programme) Primary · Assessed up to 2 months prior to biopsy

Discussion in multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting was considered "compliant" if the patient record was discussed in MTD meeting before biopsy. Adherence rate was calculated as the number of patients with "compliant MDT meeting" among sarcoma patients with a biopsy.

Sponsor's own description

Sarcomas are rare tumours that represent less than 1% of cancers. Their actual incidence in France, however, is not known. The chances of survival at 5 years, without signs of the disease, are currently estimated at about 60%. The possibility of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is frequently unrecognised, leading to an inappropriate initial diagnostic process and often to inadequate surgery. Compliance with good practice guides, which we can recall were targeted at oncologists, is good when the patient's record is discussed within the framework of a multidisciplinary consultation. The consequences of inadequate initial management, however, can be critical: unplanned surgery results in the need for systematic repeat procedure, with residual tumour found in more than half of cases, and the absence of multidisciplinary care has a deleterious impact on local disease control and specific survival. The objective of the study is to measure the impact of a public health intervention programme focused on the initial management of STS among all professionals who may come to suspect or diagnose soft tissue sarcoma. For this project, the 4 regions involved in the Cancéropôle du Grand Sud-Ouest, France (Aquitaine, Languedoc-Roussillon, Limousin and Midi-Pyrénées) propose to implement actions targeted at general practitioners, treating physicians and non-specialist surgeons in the field of STS, aimed at improving initial care. An improvement in initial management (diagnosis and assessment) which should allow an improvement in the loco-regional control of these diseases and in the specific survival of the patients. The actions recognised as effective in this study could then be adapted and extended to the rest of France via the French sarcomas group and the bone tumours study group (GSF-GETO).
