At the 17th AFSOS National Congress on Supportive Oncology Care, held on October 15 and 16, 2026, in Lille, teams from the François Baclesse Center presented three studies in the form of posters.
A leading event for professionals involved in the care of people with cancer, the conference of the Francophone Association for Supportive Oncology Care (AFSOS) promotes the sharing of experiences and the dissemination of innovative practices in the field of supportive care.
The projects presented by professionals at the François Baclesse Center highlight various aspects of the care provided to patients: the organization of care, adapted physical activity, and palliative care support.
- Ten Years of Progress at a Unit Dedicated to Supportive Cancer Care
This study presents a decade of developments in the unit dedicated to supportive cancer care, marked by the expansion of outpatient care and the ongoing adaptation of care pathways to patients’ needs.
- Hospital-Based Oncology Care: A Review of Three Years of Experience
This report on lessons learned covers three years of implementing the hospital biography program at the Center. This initiative provides patients with a space to share their stories and pass on their experiences, while also allowing them to leave a record of their history for their loved ones.
- Structure of the Physical Therapy – Adapted Physical Activity (APA) Program
This study highlights the coordinated efforts between physical therapy and adapted physical activity teams. The goal is to prevent the loss of physical function associated with illness and treatment, to preserve patients’ independence, and to ensure continuity of care as patients transition from the hospital to their community.
Sharing Experiences to Enhance Practices
Through these three posters, the teams at the François Baclesse Center shared their experiences in the field and the systems they have put in place to benefit patients.
Participation in the AFSOS conference fosters professional exchange and helps promote practices that contribute to comprehensive, personalized, and coordinated care for people affected by cancer.
