Résumé

This study was undertaken to assess the previously unevaluated safety and feasibility of oxaliplatin-desensitization procedure add a French ambulatory cancer unit, which is a current topic in oncology. Our findings demonstrated that oxaliplatin-desensitization was safe and feasible in our ambulatory cancer unit. In routine practice, all these procedures are done on an inpatient basis starting at least the day before. Those results could change oncological practices in France and improve patients' quality of life and lower costs associated with inpatient administration.
