Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility, safety and accuracy of a telephone follow-up for women previously treatment for endometrial cancer. To achieve this aim, potentially eligible women attending the Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer (QCGC) outpatient clinic for review following previous treatment for endometrial cancer will be recruited by this study. The study aims to recruit all new patients as well as all patients who return to QCGC for their follow-up and who had treatment within the previous 2 years. The proposed project will involve generation of an evidence-based checklist of signs and symptoms of disease recurrence from a thorough literature review. The generated symptom checklist will be pilot tested and the refined symptom checklist will be used to follow study participants over a period of 12 months. During the follow-up period, the basic standard of follow-up after primary treatment for endometrial cancer at the QCGC, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH)will not be altered; however, the study participants will be interview via telephone 2 to 5 days prior to their scheduled review dates. The main outcome measure will be the estimated recurrence rate as derived from the telephone assessment and this will be compared to the clinically detected recurrences as recorded in patients' medical files. It is hypothesized, that the telephone follow-up will identify 90% of all recurrences correctly that are later confirmed during the clinical follow-up. In addition to the main outcome, we will also assess patients' satisfaction with each of the follow-up programs, whether or not lifestyle behaviours were queried and support offered to improve wellbeing.

- description
- Women previously treated for endometrial cancer will be recruited into one study group and continue to be followed per the current routine clinic follow-up. However, an additional program (telephone follow-up) will be offered in parallel to the current clinic follow-up. Outcomes obtained from the telephone follow-up will be compared with the current clinical assessment.
