An Observational Study of the Prevalence of Patients Requiring Palliative Care in French Anti-cancer Centers.

The purpose of this observational study is to determine the proportion of patients with a score greater than 3/10 to the questionnaire PALLIA-10. This questionnaire is a tool provided by the French Society for Palliative Cares, aiming at helping the providers of care to identify patients who would require palliative cares. According to the notice of the questionnaire, patients with a score greater than 3 would be taken in charge by a palliative care team. Considerong the 10 itmes of this questionnaire, it seems that a large majority of patients would have a score greater than 3 in the context of anti cancer centers. To date, palliative teams are not designed to take in charge such an amount of patients.
