Follow-up of Endometrial Cancer Patients

Follow-up of Endometrial Cancer Patients: A Valuable Medical Intervention or a Dispensable Force of Habit?

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with stage I Endometrial Cancer

Exclusion Criteria:

• Dementia or other mental/cognitive impairment
• Illiterate in Danish
• Treated with adjuvant chemo- and/or radiotherapy
• high risk histology
• grade 3
• follow-up for other gynecologic malignancy
