Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The present study is conducted, to elucidate the value of follow-up examinations in endometrial cancer patients. Specifically the objective is to compare hospital-based follow-up examinations with instruction in self-referral in stage I endometrial cancer patients. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention, instruction in self-referral, will: * reduce fear of recurrence * improve quality of life * improve cost-utility * not affect disease-free survival.
