Gynaecological cancers have a combined incidence in women second only to breast cancer in the UK. Evidence
\nshows that earlier diagnosis could reduce the survival gap between England and the European average. An
\ninformation leaflet detailing the symptoms of gynaecological cancers and encouraging women to present to their GP
\nhas been developed. It aims to increase awareness and reduce help-seeking barriers, with the goal of reducing delay
\nin presentation for gynaecological cancers. This study, funded by the National Awareness and Early Diagnosis
\nInitiative, evaluated the impact of sending this leaflet to women through their GP, on consultation rates, use of
\ndiagnostic tests and referral rates. This project aimed to extend a similar project being undertaken in London by Dr Alice
\nSimons and colleagues (REC approval reference: 12/EE/0231). The Northamptonshire study will provide a
\ngeographical comparison to the London study, and will also include a control arm as a further methodological
\ndevelopment.
\nWomen aged 40 years and over will be identified from the lists of approximately 5 GP practices and mailed the leaflet
\nwith a cover letter from their GP. Patients on the palliative care, mental health or oncology registers will be excluded.
\nAfter the leaflet is sent out, we will monitor any changes in attendance rates, relevant investigations ordered and
\nreferrals made in the six months following, and compare this to a similar period in the previous year. Women will not
\nbe approached during this study, but rather the outcome data will be collected and collated in anonymised form from
\nthe practice databases.
