Résumé

La neuro-oncologie repose principalement sur le suivi des tumeurs du système nerveux (majoritairement malignes). D’importants progrès ont été récemment constatés. Demeurent, malgré tout, des situations difficiles caractérisées par la majoration progressive de déficits fonctionnels à l’origine d’une dépendance et de l’engagement du pronostic vital. L’impact psychologique est majeur pour le patient, son entourage et les soignants. Nous décrivons l’adaptation de l’équipe à cette situation et la prise en charge pragmatique proposée aux différentes phases de la maladie.

Abstract

The main interest of Neuro-Oncology is central nervous system tumors (mostly malignant). Significant improvements have recently been observed, however, difficult situations with gradual increase of potentially life-threatening functional deficits causing dependence still remain. The psychological impact is significant for the patient, his entourage and the caregivers. We describe the teams’ adaptation to this situation and the pragmatic care offered at the different phases of the disease.
