- W4387207504 abstract "Vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) is an essential component of curative intent treatment for many patients with endometrial cancer. The prevalence of trauma history in this population is unknown and is important to understand considering VBT requires patients to have an instrument vaginally inserted while in the vulnerable lithotomy position. We aim to retrospectively identify patients treated with VBT for early-stage endometrial cancer and collect survey data to assess the prevalence of trauma history, whether VBT re-induced trauma symptoms, and whether VBT was considered an independent traumatic event by patients.We retrospectively identified patients with endometrial cancer treated with VBT at our institution from January 2017 to August 2022. Patients were mailed a cover letter and unique-identifier coded survey that included the Brief Trauma Questionnaire (BTQ) and Primary Care Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Screen for DSM-V (PC-PTSD-5), both validated instruments. Patients were instructed to fill out the surveys as it relates to their trauma history prior to VBT and again considering any trauma symptomatology related to VBT. BTQ was interpreted as positive if the patient responded yes to any question. PC-PTSD-5 was interpreted positive if the patient responded yes to at least 3 questions. Electronic medical record review was performed to identify clinical and pathologic features. Descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis were used to assess survey responses.A total of 51 of 206 patients returned the survey at the time of interim analysis. 43 patients (84%) screened positive on the BTQ for having trauma history. Of those patients, 7 (16%) screened positive on the PC-PTSD-5 for a probable PTSD diagnosis. Additionally, 22 (51%)/18 (42%) patients answered yes to at least one/two symptoms on the PC-PTSD-5 respectively. Of the patients who answered yes to at least one question on the PC-PTSD-5, 18% (4 patients) responded that VBT triggered flashbacks of their past trauma. Regarding PC-PTSD-5 considering trauma symptomatology related to VBT, 20 patients (39%) answered yes to any question, though only 2 patients (4%) met the threshold to screen positive for probable PTSD. 20 patients (39%) indicated they would have accepted a referral to psychology before or during VBT. Suggested improvements made via free text responses included minimizing the time the cylinder was inserted and eliminating the need to transfer via hallway from the simulation room to the treatment room.This study provides a baseline for understanding the prevalence of trauma history and trauma related to VBT in patients with endometrial cancer. This data can be used to guide patient centered discussions of endometrial cancer care, importantly including to counsel patients that a possible toxicity of VBT is trauma symptomatology, particularly for those with a history of trauma." @default.
