How many patients enter endometrial cancer surgery with psychotropic medication prescriptions, and how many receive a new prescription perioperatively?

CONCLUSIONS: While one in eight patients already had psychotropic medications prescribed before surgery for early stage endometrial cancer, only few women received a new prescription after surgery. The overall prescription rates were similar to other patients with cancer, but higher than those observed in the general population, likely reflecting the comorbidity burden of patients who develop endometrial cancer. Qualitative data could be used in future research to explore the psychological and quality of life impacts of endometrial cancer. PMID: 30466808 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
