Detailed Description: The GerOnTe TWOBE study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the GerOnTe intervention, consisting of a renewed, patient-centred, care pathway coordinated by an APN and supported by a Health Professional Consortium and IC Technology, compared to the current standard of care in the eight different Belgian and Dutch hospitals. The GerOnTe project consists of two identical trials in two different European geographical areas, FRONE in France and TWOBE in Belgium and the Netherlands. The goal of two identical trials is to take into account the role of health care contexts in the implementation, effectiveness and efficiency of the GerOnTe intervention. A stepped wedge randomized controlled trial, where the randomized clusters will be participating hospitals, will be conducted in eight academic and general hospitals in total with a follow-up at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after study inclusion. Patients will be recruited in all participating hospitals in the period between the cancer diagnosis and the treatment decision.
