Development of a therapeutic education program for prostate cancer patients undergoing new generation hormone therapy

Élaboration d’un programme d’éducation thérapeutique dédié aux patients atteints d’un cancer de la prostate sous hormonothérapie de nouvelle génération

Abstract

New generation hormone therapies (NGHT) is the gold standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancers and/or castration-resistant tumors. Four molecules have been approved: enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate, apalutamide and darolutamide. These treatments are oral therapies taken on a daily basis, which raise issues of adherence to treatment, adverse effects and drug interactions. Therapeutic educational programs for patients represent an emerging care activity that allows patients to acquire skills to better live with their disease and treatment. As of today, no such specific program to new generation hormone therapy in prostate cancer has been developed in France, which was the goal of our current study. This was conducted in three steps: i) identification of patients' educational needs through an exchange with a focus group of patients, ii) gathering of expert opinions on useful information to be given to patients on NGHT via a questionnaire submitted to GETUG members and iii) implementation of the program per se. Qualitative analysis of exchanges with the focus group of patients led to the identification of 7 meaning categories. Expert opinions regarding useful information to deliver to patients identified 13 key items. Based on these preliminary data concerning patients' educational needs, we set up the first french program dedicated to metastatic prostate cancer patients undergoing NGHT that included three therapeutic education workshops: "Experience of the disease", "Management of the treatment" and "Physical activity and diet".
