Patient NavigationImproving Rural Endometrial Cancer Care

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.
