Therapeutic advances in oncology have transformed the prognosis of cancer patients, placing a significant number of them either in a context of recovery or in prolonged remission close to a chronic disease. Thus, the reconquest of a life after cancer becomes possible but raises many challenges for the patient, his entourage, the medical profession and our society. One of the major challenges is the detection and management of treatment side effects for all patients. In addition to the standard organic assessment (glycaemia, creatinine, liver test, blood count), we are mainly interested in muscle deconditioning and cognitive impairment, which are particularly disturbed in these populations. After the evaluation day, patients are referred to the most appropriate structures (Adapted physical activity, sports for health, and rehabilitation at Henry Gabriel Hospital). JUMP research is part of axis 2 of the 2021-2030 cancer plan: "Limiting sequelae and improving quality of life", through sheets 1 (research) / 6 (access and quality) / 7 (prevention). This leads to the concrete implementation on the territory of adapted care channels in the city: medical structure, physiotherapy, Adapted Physical Activity (APA) structures, associative structures; which makes it possible to develop and strengthen the city-hospital link. Finally, it allows the patient to take ownership and get involved in the project, allowing in the future to make them truly active in they care and to advise and motivate their peers. This non-interventional research is classified as "research involving human subjects", class 3 . The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact of cancer on the musculoskeletal system and to test ultrasound as a clinical examination for the detection of sarcopenia in this population.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

Analyze the correlation between muscle mass (thickness) of the quadriceps (rectus femoris) assessed in axial sections by ultrasound and the reference muscle mass index (Appendicular Lean Mass (ALM)/height²) assessed by DEXA
