Background:
The 5-year hospital follow-up after treatment for endometrial cancer can increase anxiety for patients and not directly pick up cancer recurrence.
Aims:
The aim of this study was to assess patient satisfaction with a patient-led follow-up and identify cancer recurrence.
Methods:
This study population was 104 women with early uterine cancer who had undergone surgery. They were given information regarding symptoms suspicious for recurrence and started on a patient-led follow-up, which included a yearly phone call from the nursing team, and a questionnaire was completed.
Findings:
Most patients (92%) scored ≥9 on the 10-point satisfaction survey. Nine women came back to the clinic for pain or bleeding. There was no recurrence of cancer in this study population.
Conclusion:
Patients are satisfied with a patient-led, telephone follow-up. This data has influenced a change in the regional Cancer Alliance guidance on cancer follow-up emphasising risk stratification.
