Summary

Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is a major public health issue because of its disastrous prognosis. The symptomatology of locally advanced or metastatic forms, particularly painful, is often major and difficult to balance, impacting both the quality of life of patients (and those around them) and the course of treatment (chemotherapy). The objective of this study is to evaluate the interest and feasibility of telemedicine in the management of pain in patients undergoing treatment for advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.

OTHER	Telemedicine	In addition to his standard follow-up, the patient benefits from a home follow-up of his pain for 6 months from his inclusion in the study. The patient has to log on via the application, every week. to fill in the questionnaire to evaluate the pain over the past week. The questionnaire consists of 4 questions to which the patient answers using a numerical scale from 0 to 10. If the patient's pain is not controlled, the patient can log on in "emergency" mode as many times as he or she deems necessary. A nurse path coordinator will be informed of each connection. Depending on the type of alert received, she may initiate a telephone consultation with the oncologist or pain specialist: * If necessary within 24 hours of the connection if it is a weekly connection, * Systematic within 3 hours if it is an emergency connection or if the data entered at the time of the weekly connection requires medical intervention.
