ABSTRACT
Located across three sites in Ile-de-France, the Institut Curie combines care, research and teaching activities to fight cancer. Faced with the progression of ambulatory care, the departments have had to adapt in order to improve patient support and oversee community-hospital coordination. Nurses become involved just after the disclosure of the diagnosis by the doctor, but also coordinate the patient's pathway in ambulatory care. They anticipate the needs of the teams, the patients and their carers. Patients appreciate their availability and the fact that they have a single contact person.
