Improving Rural Endometrial Cancer Care

4. november 2026 opdateret af: UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

Patient Navigation in Gynecologic Oncology: Improving Care Among Marginalized Endometrial Cancer Patients

This is a pilot feasibility study to enable intensive outreach for marginalized patients with endometrial cancer (EC). Rural residents as well as patients who self-identify as Black or African American patients with EC have higher mortality rates. This study aims to introduce a treatment focused patient navigation intervention for marginalized patients with EC to address the multiple barriers these patients face. Patient navigation is a personalized program to help patients navigate the health care system and access medical and non-medical services. For example, patient navigators can provide services such as mediating/facilitating communication between patients and their providers/health care team, advocating for patient needs, identifying financial assistance and insurance-related resources, coordinating complex patient care, and providing patients with psychosocial support. This study will assess the implementation and effectiveness of a navigation intervention targeting multilevel barriers to care. The primary objective is to evaluate the fidelity of following the patient navigation intervention protocol.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

After eligibility and consent, patients complete a brief pre-intervention questionnaire about their well-being, social support, and confidence in managing their care. They then begin the navigation program, which includes three structured assessments: a pre-consult assessment, a pre-treatment assessment, and an active-treatment assessment. These follow scripted, semi-structured interview guides.

During the pre-consult assessment, the navigator offers individualized financial and transportation resources. During the pre-treatment and active-treatment assessments, the navigator offers additional resources tailored to each patient's needs.

Each patient receives a Navigation Assessment Score based on several risk factors (such as age, long travel distance, language needs, food insecurity, financial strain, lack of internet, metastatic disease, living alone, and other social or health risks). The score determines how often the navigator follows up: low-risk patients receive one follow-up, intermediate-risk receive two, and high-risk receive weekly follow-ups during treatment. Patients may also contact the navigator at any time for support.

At the end of the program, patients complete a post-intervention survey to reassess well-being, support, and self-efficacy, and to evaluate how acceptable and helpful they found the navigation program. All assessments can be completed virtually.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Fidelity of the navigation intervention
Tidsramme: Up to 12 months

Fidelity will be measured as the proportion of participants who receive and complete a certain number of patient navigation assessments, where the number of assessments is based on their risk category. For low-risk patients, patients who complete at least one active treatment assessment and one follow-up assessment in the treatment period; for medium-risk patients, patients who complete at least one active treatment assessment and two follow-up assessments in the treatment period; for high-risk patients, patients who complete at least one active treatment assessment and three follow-up assessments in the treatment period will be considered in the numerator. The navigator will inform on the completion of assessments and the data will be kept and accessed via RedCAP.
Up to 12 months

Tidsramme
Recruitment rate
Tidsramme: Baseline

Recruitment rate is defined as the proportion of individuals enrolled in the patient navigation intervention divided by the number of individuals eligible to participate in patient navigation program.
Baseline
Retention rate
Tidsramme: Up to 12 months

Retention rate is defined as the number of individuals who complete one patient navigation assessment, divided by the number of individuals enrolled in the patient navigation program.
Up to 12 months
Acceptability rate
Tidsramme: Up to 12 months

Acceptability rate will be measured and described using the post-intervention Patient Satisfaction with Navigator Interpersonal Relationship (PSN-I) scores. PSN-I scale consists of 9 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale that typically ranges from: 1 = lowest satisfaction and 5 = highest satisfaction. Max score value is 45 while minimum score value is 9.
Up to 12 months
Cost
Tidsramme: Up to 12 months

Cost will be measured by multiplying time required to delivery intervention with patient navigator hourly salary.
