Official title
Enacting Active Survivorship: Implementation of Weight Management Strategies in Endometrial Cancer Survivors
Overview
This study is being done to understand how oncologists can engage a multidisciplinary team to help endometrial cancer survivors with obesity to engage in a weight management program and potentially start a weight loss medication. Obesity often impacts the future health and longevity of early-stage endometrial cancer survivors more than their cancer diagnosis. Patients will be referred to the KUMC OB/Gyn weight management clinic to discuss weight management options. * If patients decide to use medications for weight loss, then the study will collect data from their chart that is recorded as part of routine monitoring for patients on weight loss medications. * If patients decide not to use any medications, the study will monitor physical exam and lab data collected as part of their routine medical care. The study will also try to understand reasons why patients did or did not start using a weight loss medication.
Interventions
- Behavioral Weight loss with pharmacotherapy
Patients will meet with a weight management specialist and discuss their options for weight loss including medications (GLP-1 agonist, naltrexone/bupropion, orlistat, or phentermine/topiramate) or bariatric surgery. - Behavioral Weight loss without pharmacotherapy
Participants not on medications will have their weight recorded at subsequent cancer surveillance or other routine medical visits
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of participants referred to weight loss clinic who are able to start weight management medications [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Change in insulin resistance over 12 months using HgA1c as a surrogate marker in participants on weight loss medications [Time frame: 12 months]
- Change in quality of life as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Gynecology (FACT-G) over 12 months in participants on weight loss medications [Time frame: 12 months]
- Change in depression as assessed by Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) over 12 months in participants on weight loss medications [Time frame: 12 months]
