- - The S3-guideline for endometrial cancer, initially released in April 2018, underwent a comprehensive review and update from April 2020 to January 2022, as requested by German Cancer Aid and coordinated by prominent gynecological and oncology organizations in Germany.
- - The update focused on integrating new evidence and refining recommendations to enhance treatment approaches, emphasizing personalized therapies to minimize unnecessary radical surgeries and non-beneficial adjuvant treatments for low-risk patients.

Purpose: For patients with a cancer diagnosis, coping abilities are of high importance. Cancer patients with a high sense of coherence may cope better. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the correlation of sense of coherence and different aspects, such as demographics, psychological factors, lifestyle, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and lay aetiology.

While reasons for and aims of using CAM have been evaluated in many studies, less is known about whether patients' concepts of how and why cancer develops has an influence on the choice of the CAM method.
Methods: We pooled the data from all studies of our working group containing questions on lay etiological concepts and CAM usage and reanalyzed them with respect to the associations between these parameters.
