The main objective of the study is to improve knowledge about the long-term health and social outcomes for children and adults cured of cancer. The FCCSS particularly focuses on:
- Estimating the incidence of iatrogenic diseases occurring after long-term treatment of a childhood tumour;
- Identifying and quantifying risk factors associated with these diseases in order to reduce iatrogenic risks and customise treatment;
- Identifying clinical markers of the progression of these diseases in order to improve early diagnosis and treatment
- Implementing customised follow-up consultations and the preventative actions required.

This study was implemented in order to increase knowledge on the long-term social and health implications of cancer treatment received during childhood.
The FCCSS follows the Euro2K study, which showed that survivors of childhood cancer are at a significantly high risk of serious iatrogenic events (e.g. long-term mortality, second cancer, diabetes, cardiac diseases, and cerebrovascular disease).

To determine the incidence and economic effects of pneumonia in elderly people residing in institutions for dependent elderly people (EHPADs).

The main aim is to test the prognostic value of electrical or mechanical cardiac dyssynchrony and to determine prevalence and characteristics in patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

The objectives of the study were to estimate the annual incidence rate of hypertension among the active population and to identify hypertension risk factors.
