When a child or teenager is diagnosed with cancer, it's vital to inform them, their family, classmates and teachers. This helps avoid communication difficulties and facilitates reintegration into school. 

Few qualitative studies have been carried out to better identify these information needs and the tools required by families and teachers.

This has a major impact on the child's and teenager's ability to reintegrate. These include chronic fatigue and sleep disorders.

The aim of this study is to enable the development of adapted tools and to offer them to children with other pediatric tumors.
