Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Database Management

Background:

  • Managing large clinical databases is now practical with powerful desktop computers.
  • Gynecologic oncology services can benefit from enhanced data cataloging, recall, and analysis capabilities.
  • Existing commercial database packages may not be optimized for the specific needs of a busy gynecologic oncology service.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a custom computerized tumor registry for a gynecologic oncology service.
  • To highlight the system's user-friendliness and advantages over manual recordkeeping.
  • To demonstrate the system's utility in daily patient care and clinical research.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a custom database system for tracking patients, admissions, tumors, and therapies.

  • Cataloging data on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and treatment modalities.
  • Generating reports for daily patient care, case statistics, and clinical research.

    • Main Results:

    • The custom system provides a user-friendly interface for managing gynecologic oncology data.
    • Reports generated by the system are valuable for immediate patient care, resident/fellow case statistics, and research.
    • The system facilitates simultaneous data entry for daily use and retrospective research.

    Conclusions:

    • A custom computerized tumor registry can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of a gynecologic oncology service.
    • The developed system offers advantages in ease of use and daily applicability compared to manual systems.
    • A common computerized tumor registry could facilitate national or global data sharing in gynecologic oncology.
