Les Aguerris was created in 2013 by motivated former patients from Gustave Roussy. It is the only French National Association where the active members are all adults cured from childhood or adolescent cancer. Literally, « Aguerri » is a military word which means « who experienced war ». Indeed, « guerre » means war. FIguratively speaking, « aguerri » means « expert ». There is also a pun with the word « guéri » which means cured.
Les Aguerris wants to inform former patients, to be their spokesman with public authorities, and to support research.

Improving the follow-up and quality of life of those who were cured from childhood cancer is our priority.

The association has a close relationship with researchers involved in childhood cancer survivorship. We were very much involved in the patient interface of Log-after software and we are glad to be able to contribute to the e-Quol project as patients representatives.
