10Frequently asked questions
What we are asked about this.
What is an incomplete RCP file?
It is a file that lacks, at the time it goes before the RCP, some information about the patient and diagnosis needed for the discussion and the treatment proposal.
What must a record contain before the RCP?
The reason for the RCP, patient identification, main diagnosis, clinical elements (stage, WHO score), history, disease phase and treatment intent, imaging and pathology results, G8 screening for patients aged 75 and over, fertility preservation and the treatment proposal. The INCa framework remains the reference.
What is the communicating cancer record (DCC)?
A regional platform that lets professionals securely share the documents of a patient treated for cancer, including the RCP form.
How many physicians are needed for an RCP?
A diagnostic or therapeutic RCP brings together at least three physicians from different specialties.
