Individualised Endometrial Cancer Risk Stratification by Bayesian Prediction Model (ENDORISK), Optimizing Clinical Implementation

Rationale: Preoperative identification of patients at risk for lymph node metastasis (LNM) is challenging in endometrial cancer (EC). Therefore, a Bayesian network model called ENDORISK was developed and validated in three external cohorts to improve preoperative risk stratification. The next step is to implement and evaluate whether use of the model improves daily clinical practice. Objective: The ENDORISK implementation (ENDORISK-I) study aims to prospectively evaluate whether implementation of ENDORISK in daily clinical practice improves preoperative risk stratification. Study design: A stepped wedge non inferiority study in which two oncology regions will consecutively start implementation of ENDORISK with one year interval. The ENDORISK model will be filled in and used in preoperative treatment counselling. Results will be compared to current standard clinical care which is prospectively evaluated in both regions since March 2022 in the 'evaluation of care in endometrial cancer' study (2021-7400). Study population: all consecutive patients recently diagnosed with early stage EC who are eligible for surgical treatment, who understand Dutch and are able to fill in a digital or paper questionnaire can be included. Main study parameters/endpoints: The ENDORISK implementation (ENDORISK-I) study aims to prospectively evaluate implementation of ENDORISK in daily clinical practice by investigating:

* The proportion of identified LNM in patients with lymph node staging (positive predictive value (PPV)) compared to standard care * Proportion of patients who decide to have lymph node status assessed in ENDORISK care compared to standard care * Preoperative information provision for patients and shared-decision making with the use of ENDORISK compared to standard care * Patients' disease- specific-, overall survival, and health-related quality of life compared to standard care * Patients' and doctors' use of and experiences with the ENDORISK-model * Impact of ENDORISK on regional care costs

Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosed with early stage (FIGO stage I-II) endometrial carcinoma (every grade permitted)
  • Eligible for primary surgical treatment (neo-adjuvant therapy is permitted)

Exclusion criteria

  • Unable to give informed consent
  • No understanding of Dutch or English language
  • Rare types of endometrial cancer, such as endometrial stroma cell sarcoma

Treatment and study plan

ENDORISK personalized risk assesment for lymph node metastases in endometrial cancer.

Diagnostic Test

The intervention group are patients receiving a personalized risk on lymph node metastases as predicted by the ENDORISK model, they also receive a treatment plan (hysterectomy + bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with or without lymph node surgery) based on this personalized risk.

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients who decide to have lymph node status assessed in ENDORISK care compared to standard care.

    Time frame: from enrolment to surgery

  2. Proportion of patients with lymph node metastases within patients undergoing lymph node staging (the positive predictive value) in ENDORISK care

    Time frame: From enrolment to time of surgery

    The lymph node metastases in patients undergoing lymph node staging will be determined by pathology report on the surgical specimen. The positive predicting value will be compared to the positive predictive value of standard care.

  3. Preoperative information provision for patients and shared-decision making with the use of ENDORISK compared to standard care, measured by questionnaires.

    Time frame: From enrolment to 12 weeks post-operatively

    Information provision score: Questionnaire EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-INFO25 with additional questions specific to ENDORISK use.

    Shared-decision making score: Shared Decision Making Questionnaire SDM-Q-9 with additional questions specific to ENDORISK use

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patients' 5-year disease- specific-, overall survival (DSS, OS), compared to standard care;

    Time frame: from enrolment to 5-year post surgery

  2. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to standard care

    Time frame: 12 weeks after primary surgery

    as measured by questionnaire: EORTC Quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) -C30

  3. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) compared to standard care

    Time frame: 12 months after primary surgery

    as measured by questionnaire: EORTC QLQ-C30

  4. Treatment-related morbidity compared to standard care

    Time frame: 12 weeks after primary surgery

    As measured by questionnaire: EORTC QLQ- Endometrial cancer (EN) 24

  5. Treatment related morbidity compared to standard care

    Time frame: 12 months after primary surgery

    As measured by questionnaire: EORTC QLQ-EN24 and questionnaires about lymphoedema: EORTC IL76 & Lymphoedema quality of Life (LYMQOL)

  6. Clinicians' experiences with ENDORISK care

    Time frame: at baseline

    Questionnaire at baseline

  7. Clinicians' experiences with ENDORISK care

    Time frame: 9 months after start of inclusions

    Questionnaire at 9 months

  8. Clinicians' experiences with ENDORISK care

    Time frame: 18 months after start of inclusions

    Questionnaire at 18 months

  9. Clinicians' experiences with ENDORISK care

    Time frame: Within 1 year of start of the inclusion period in their hospital.

    In depth interviews with a sample of participating clinicians to evaluate user experiences.

  10. Impact of ENDORISK on regional care costs

    Time frame: from enrolment to the end of inclusions

Other outcomes

  1. Charlson-index

    Time frame: 12 weeks after primary surgery

    Charlson-index as reported by participants and as reported by clinician/researcher from patient records

  2. Health literacy

    Time frame: 12 weeks after primary surgery

    Health Literacy as reported by participants through a questionnaire
