Newly diagnosed endometrial cancer survivors, who are presenting for their initial consultation with a plan for minimally invasive surgery, will be randomized 1:1 to standard counseling or standard counseling plus asynchronous telemedicine video. The asynchronous video will be available outside of the office and can be viewed multiple times. The primary endpoint is patient anxiety, measured via the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire, assessed before surgery. The secondary outcomes of anxiety following surgery as well as patient satisfaction with counseling type (measured via the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ-18)) before and after surgery will be compared between groups. Both groups will complete questionnaires following their initial consultation (but before surgery) and at their post-operative visit. For the telemedicine group, the duration and frequency of video views will be collected. Participants completing both surveys will receive a survivorship gift bag.
To determine whether telemedicine is an acceptable addition to pre-operative counseling, compared to face-to-face communication alone for patients with endometrial cancer.
