No Surgeon to perform the operations.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether a standardized video education tool will improve knowledge regarding obesity and bariatric surgery and increase bariatric surgery referrals for obese women with endometrial cancer.

An estimated 50% of all endometrial cancer cases are associated with obesity. Bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce the risk of hormone-related cancers, including endometrial cancer, by up to 70-80%. This prospective, study of 80 patients will be randomized to either a standard education for weight loss provided by their oncologist or a standard education plus a 15-minute video with information regarding obesity, relationship of obesity and endometrial cancer, and the safety and benefits of bariatric surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adults aged 18-80 with class II or greater obesity (BMI ≥ 35)
• Have pathologically-confirmed endometrial cancer
• Have completed initial therapy (e.g. surgery, hormonal therapy, vaginal cuff brachytherapy, or a combination of these modalities) and require no further interventions related to cancer care. Patients taking hormonal therapy as part of cancer treatment may be included.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Under the age of 18 or over the age of 80
• Have previously undergone bariatric surgery
• Requires ongoing cancer treatment with chemotherapy or whole pelvic radiation.
• Poor surgical candidate secondary to comorbidities or performance status.

This study will include women only as it is focused on a sex-specific cancer (endometrial).

Women with endometrial cancer with obesity who are receiving care at the Stephenson Cancer Center will be considered for inclusion. All patients regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status will be included without discrimination.
