Evaluation of the Medical Service by Socio-aesthetics in Oncology

Socio-aesthetics care is the delivery appropriate beauty care in a population weakened by a physical, psychological and/or social attack.

this well-being care is imperfectly assessed with few data from randomized controlled trials.

The RCT-STudy is a randomized, controlled, multicenter, open label, intervention study that will be conducted among 400 patients treated with chemotherapy for breast, prostate, colon and lung cancer.

Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two arms of the study according to a 1:1 ratio:

• Group A will benefit from 4 sessions of well being care performed by a qualified socio-aesthetic person, with dermo-cosmetics product defined, during 4 consecutive chemotherapy administrations .

• Group B (control) will apply the same dermo-cosmetics products themselves (self-care) without intervention of socio-aesthetic, during 4 consecutive chemotherapy administrations

  12 Evaluations will be conducted between chemotherapy cure N° 2 and chemotherapy cure N°5:

• Pain assessed by Eva

• Anxiety assessed by HADS

• impact of socio-aesthetics care care , assessed by Patient Centricity Questionnaire (PCQ) (0 -110)

Data will be recorded using an e-CRF. patient will be recruited over 3 years and will be followed up for 3 months.

Hypothesis:

Socio-aesthetics session significantly improves quality of life and reduced pain and anxiety compared to self care administration of dermo-cosmetics products
