The Incidence of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia or Cervical Cancer in Women Referred With Postcoital Bleeding.

Objectives: The incidence of cervical cancer among patients with postcoital bleeding (PCB) was the primary objective of this study. Furthermore, the proportion of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia requiring treatment and the correlation between PCB and the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) was determined. Lastly, the study aimed to identify risk factors among the referred women.

A NEw MOdel of individualized and patient-centered follow-up for women with gynecological cancer (the NEMO study)-protocol and rationale of a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Follow-up programs for gynecological cancer patients are currently under revision. There is limited evidence that traditional follow-up and clinical examinations improve survival in an early-stage gynecological setting. Further, traditional follow-up programs fail to accommodate the patient's need for psychosocial and sexual supportive care and to actively involve patients and their relatives in the follow-up process.

Cancer worry is associated with increased use of supportive health care-results from the multinational InCHARGE study.

Purpose: To assess use of health care following a diagnosis of endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer in the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark. Furthermore, to analyze the association between cancer worry and use of supportive care.

Methods: An international multicenter cross-sectional questionnaire study was undertaken among female cancer survivors with endometrial, cervical, or ovarian cancer 1-7 years post diagnosis.

Self-management and adherence to recommended follow-up after gynaecological cancer: results from the international InCHARGE study.

Objective: To assess the relationship between self-management skills and adherence to follow-up guidelines among gynecological cancer survivors in the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark, and to assess the relationship between adherence to follow-up programs and use of additional healthcare services.

Methods: For this international, multicenter, cross-sectional study, we recruited gynecological cancer survivors 1-5 years after completion of treatment. Information on follow-up visits, use of healthcare resources, self-management (measured by the Health Education Impact Questionnaire), clinical characteristics, and demographics were obtained by validated questionnaires.

How Do We Follow Up Patients With Endometrial Cancer?

Purpose Of Review: In this review, we present the existing evidence regarding follow-up care after endometrial cancer, including content of follow-up and type of provider. We furthermore discuss the future perspectives for follow-up care and research in the field.

Recent Findings: Recently published randomized controlled trials show that nurse-led telephone follow-up and patient-initiated follow-up are feasible alternatives to routine hospital-based follow-up.
