Lymphoma is the 6th cancer in terms of incidence in France where approximately 11,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Most types of lymphomas occur at all ages with a predominance in elderly subjects.
With the continuous improvement of the diagnostic techniques and the treatments, the prognosis of lymphomas is constantly improving. However, 20-40% of patients relapse most often within 2 or 3 years after the end of treatment.
The current standard follow up includes a clinical examination and a biological check-up every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months up to 5 years and an imaging every 6 months. However, the interest of this systematic surveillance by imaging is controversial.
The use of new information and communication technologies, can improve the clinical follow-up of patients. To date, access to the Internet and portable technologies is sufficiently broad and democratized to envisage the use of this type of remote surveillance in the field of health. In particular to facilitate the dissemination of information between the patient and the physician. It is thus possible to imagine using this flow of information to generate alerts.
Strengthening the clinical follow-up in this indication, in which routine imaging has not demonstrated their interest, in particular by the implementation of remote monitoring completed by the patient, may present an advantage in terms of effectiveness and precocity of care. In this pathology, up to 40% of patients relapse early (within 2 to 3 years), in the vast majority of cases symptomatically (less than 2% asymptomatic relapse discovered by imaging). Finally the CT scan every 6-month , which generates radiation costs and exposures for a relatively low benefit, is performed in symptomatic patients since several weeks.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest of a web-mediated follow up using a score based on the dynamics and the association of clinical and biological signs to alert the physician of a possible recurrence of the patients treated for a lymphoma in complete or partial response.

Finally the CT scan every 6-month , which generates radiation costs and exposures for a relatively low benefit, is performed in symptomatic patients since several weeks.
In addition, strengthened clinical follow-up may improve the early detection of relapses and also improve surveillance of all significant clinical complications commonly seen in patients with severe disease (sepsis, thromboembolism, late iatrogenics, etc.). If a benefit in survival is to be expected, it will most likely be due to the early detection of relapses and better control of recidivism through early treatment and management and the early implementation of appropriate supportive care, if only by the management of depressive symptoms, or the management of iatrogenic or other complications.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest of a web-mediated follow up using a score based on the dynamics and the association of clinical and biological signs to alert the physician of a possible recurrence of the patients treated for a lymphoma in complete or partial response.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: SENTINEL
Patients will have a clinical and biological exam every 3 months and a web-mediated follow up. Patients will have to connect to the SENTINEL application every 14 days to complete a questionnaire about their symptoms. Imaging will be performed in the event of an alert or clinical problem

Device: SENTINEL
web-mediated follow up |
No Intervention: Standard
Patients will have the usual follow up (Clinical and biological exam every 3 months and imaging every 6 months)
|
- Number of significant complications detected and confirmed by a medical consultation performed outside the standard follow-up [ Time Frame: 6 months ]In the experimental group, identification of the absence of alert in case of complications and in the standard arm, identification of the absence of medical consultation (referring physician) in case of complications.
- Complication detection time [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Time between the diagnosis of a complication and the nearest expected date of the subsequent follow-up programmed
- Number of complication observed [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Collection of all complication presented by patients
- Rate of hospitalization for vital emergency [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Collection of serious adverse events
- Sensibility of the web-application [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Number of alerts triggered by the application in relation to the results of the systematic imaging or triggered by an alert
- Compliance [ Time Frame: 24 months ]Number of assessement completed (usually 1 per 2 weeks) by patients
- Performances status (PS) at relapse [ Time Frame: 24 months ]PS according to WHO
- Quality of life [ Time Frame: up to 12 months ]Completion of the quality of life questionnaire QLQ-C30 at baseline and after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months
