Telephone Paramedical Support Prior to the Radiotherapy Simulation Scanner for Patients With Prostate Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of a phone call before the simulation CT scan in management of care of patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description
-----------------
After being informed about the study, all patients who have given written informed consent and who met eligibility requirement will be randomized in a simple blind manner ( investigator) in a 1:1 ration. The main question it aims to answer is : Does a phone call before the simulation CT scan has an effectiveness on patients compliance of the recommendations and therefore on obtaining quality images. There is no additional risk of patients involvement.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Assess the value of a telephone call in terms of compliance recommendations for preparation (empty rectum and full bladder) necessary to perform the CT scanner simulation in the management of patients with prostate cancer. | The proportion of patients for whom it is necessary to renew the CT scanner simulation. | From the day of the consultation with the radiotherapist to the day of the CT scanner, up to three month after the inclusion | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Assess the impact of a telephone call upstream of the simulation scanner on patient preparation according to recommendations. | The number of patients who performed the preparation for the scanner. | From the day of the consultation with the radiotherapist to the day of the CT scanner, up to three month after the inclusion | 
| Assess the impact of a telephone call upstream of the simulation scanner on reading the recommendation sheet given to the patient during the announcement medical consultation. | The number of patients who read the recommendations | From the day of the consultation with the radiotherapist to the day of the CT scanner, up to three month after the inclusion |
