Bronchial cancer is a major oncological pathology, representing the leading cause of cancer death in France. Supportive oncological care (SOS) is defined as all the care and support necessary for patients throughout their journey, in addition to specific treatments. Despite their importance, their identification and accessibility remain heterogeneous in outpatient oncology. This single-center observational study aims to describe the supportive care needs of patients with bronchial cancer in the active phase of treatment at the Nord-Ouest Hospital in Villefranche-sur-Saône. A self-questionnaire based on the national SOS identification grid will be offered to 100 patients followed in thoracic oncology. The main objective is to identify priority needs perceived and expressed by patients, particularly in terms of psychological support, pain management, nutrition, physical activity, fatigue and social impact. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of the proposal and acceptance of SOS by patients, the analysis of the causes of refusal and the study of variations in needs according to the temporality of treatments and demographic characteristics. A descriptive statistical analysis will be carried out, supplemented by comparative tests to explore the relationships between identified needs and patient profiles. The expected results will make it possible to optimize the provision of supportive care in outpatient oncology, by proposing strategies adapted to the specific needs of patients with bronchial cancer.
