Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In France today, it is estimated that one in every 850 people aged between 20 and 45 is a childhood cancer survivor (CCS), equivalent to around 40,000 to 50,000 people. Some descriptive studies have established that the diagnosis and treatment of cancer can affect psychological health. A French study published by our team in 2015 and 2020 showed that in adulthood, 40% of CCS had anxiety symptoms, a rate significantly higher than that of the general French population (25%). However, although there are validated scales for screening children for psychological disorders (anxiety, depression, etc.), there is no rapid screening tool that can be used routinely by an oncologist during consultations. So, the study aims to develop and validate a short test, which could easily be carried out systematically during follow-up consultations after childhood cancer. It would make it possible to identify people with no psychological complications and, conversely, those in whom further investigation, based on the classic reference scales for assessing psychological disorders, would be relevant.
