Development of a Tele-monitoring Program for Patients Undergoing Surgery for Pheochromocytoma and / or Paraganglioma

Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Summary

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL) are rare tumors treated by surgical excision. During follow-up, more than 15% of patients will have recurrences in the form of new tumors, locoregional recurrence or metastases. This subgroup is initially not identifiable. It is therefore usual to perform annual monitoring of all patients throughout their lives by questioning and measuring blood pressure during a medical consultation and by measuring urinary or plasma metanephrines and normetanephrines. The main objective of this prospective monocentric study is to evaluate the reliability of an optimized remote monitoring program in comparison to a usual in-clinic monitoring of patients surgically-cured and tumor-free at the time of inclusion.
