e20006 Background: When a child suffers from a cancer, parents worry about a probable hereditary cause. If a cancer occurs in the context of a genetic mutation, this can worsen the situation and make it more complicated. On the other hand, when the hereditary cause is rejected, the reinsurance for the family is clear. Methods: A partnership has been set between the Oncogenetics department in Centre Antoine Lacassagne Hospital in Nice and the Archet hospital in Nice (CHU) who takes in charge the children suffering from a cancer. Fifty little patients are seen every year in the paediatric oncology service at the Archet hospital (CHU). A consultation in oncogenetics is suggested to each family and insistently when a known syndrome is suspected. This consultation is also about to provide an other kind of care, in an other hospital, focused on the family with the aim to free of guilt the parents. Psychological care for families is in backdrop as they can express freely their questioning. Results: Twenty one families have been seen and fifteen different types of cancers recorded: mostly haematological cancers and neurological cancers. For each family, a pedigree was drawn. Data concerning the child’s disease and familial data were gathered. Most of the time, these information led to reassure the families. Therefore two Li and Fraumeni syndrome have been evoked. The first child suffered from a plexus choroid carcinoma and the second one had two distinct cancers: a nephroblastoma and a medulloblastoma. On the other hand, 2 children had had a LAL within a family with history of malignant haemopaties. Interestingly, 3 children with isolated LAL in the family where suggested to contribute to a research trial. Conclusions: This oncogenetic pediatric consultation allows to detect known hereditary predisposition syndromes and to contribute to researches in paediatric oncology. Above all, this strong bound between the oncogentics department and the pediatric oncology service permitted to reach an objective: offering families a specialised consultation with psychological support with a gap from disease.

Objetivo: conhecer a percepção da criança em tratamento oncológico sobre a vivência da doença. Metodologia: estudo descritivo, observacional, com abordagem qualitativa. Participaram sete crianças com câncer, mediante entrevista semiestruturada, cujos dados foram estudados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Resultados: foram identificadas quatro categorias: Impedimentos e limitações ao enfrentamento da doença; Brincando e aprendendo; Imaginando ser diferente o ambiente hospitalar; Vivenciando o medo e o desconforto dos procedimentos. Conclusão: o diagnóstico de câncer em crianças e a hospitalização são fatores que privam suas atividades rotineiras e lhes acarretam desconforto emocional e físico.Descritores: Enfermagem pediátrica, Serviço hospitalar de oncologia, Emoções manifestasCHILDHOOD CANCER: EXPERIENCES OF CHILDREN IN TREATMENT ONCOLOGICObjective: to know the child’s perception of cancer treatment on the experience of the disease. Methods: A descriptive, observational study with a qualitative approach. Participants were seven children with cancer through semi-structured interviews and data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Four categories were identified: Impediments and limitations to cope with the disease; Playing and Learning; Imagining be different from the hospital environment; Experiencing fear and discomfort of procedures. Conclusion: The diagnosis of cancer in children and hospitalization are factors that deprive their routine activities and carry them emotional and physical discomfort.Descriptors: Pediatric nursing, Oncology service hospital, Expressed emotion.CÁNCER INFANTIL: EXPERIENCIAS DE LOS NIÑOS EN TRATAMIENTO ONCOLÓGICOObjetivo: conocer la percepción del niño en tratamiento del cáncer sobre la experiencia de la enfermedad. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, observacional con un enfoque cualitativo. Los participantes fueron siete niños con cáncer a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas y los datos se analizaron mediante análisis de contenido. Resultados: Se identificaron cuatro categorías: Los impedimentos y limitaciones para hacer frente a la enfermedad; Jugar y aprender; Imaginando ser diferente del entorno del hospital; Experimentar el miedo y la incomodidad de los procedimientos. Conclusión: El diagnóstico de cáncer en niños y la hospitalización son factores que privan a sus actividades de rutina y los llevan malestar emocional y físico.Descriptores: Enfermería pediátrica, Servicio de oncología en hospital, Emoción expresada.

Abstract. Background: The purpose of this observational study is to report the six-month clinical outcomes with a new multiple stent delivery system in patients with femoro-popliteal lesions. Patients and methods: The LOCOMOTIVE study is an observational multicentre study with a primary endpoint target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at six months. Femoro-popliteal lesions were prepared with uncoated and/or paclitaxel-coated peripheral balloon catheters. When flow limiting dissections, elastic recoil or recoil due to calcification required stenting, up to six short stents per delivery device, each 13 mm in length, were implanted. Sonographic follow-ups and clinical assessments were scheduled at six months. Results: For this first analysis, a total of 75 patients 72.9 ± 9.2 years of age were enrolled. The majority of the 176 individually treated lesions were in the superficial femoral artery (76.2 %, 134/176) whereas the rate of TASC C/D amounted to 51.1 % (90/176). The total lesion length was 14.5 ± 9.0 cm with reference vessel diameters of 5.6 ± 0.7 mm. Overall 47 ± 18 % of lesion lengths could be saved from stenting. At six months, the patency was 90.7 % (68/75) and all-cause TLR rates were 5.3 % (4/75) in the overall cohort. Conclusions: The first clinical experience at six months suggests that the MSDS strategy was safe and effective to treat femoro-popliteal lesions of considerable length (14.5 ± 9.0 cm). Almost half of the lesion length could be saved from stenting while patency was high and TLR rates were acceptably low.
