For more information, please visit our website: https://cecs.unc.edu The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship experiences of adults with endometrial cancer. Initial enrollment goals are for 1,800 adults living in North Carolina at the time of their recent first diagnosis of endometrial cancer. This project will provide important data for integrating tumor biology, access to care, and other factors to identify contributors, and potential areas for intervention to address endometrial cancer disparities. Study staff will pursue annual follow-ups with participants, requesting updates to treatment status and quality of life measures for approximately 5yrs.

The study purpose is to evaluate laboratory professionals' perception of the effectiveness of education methods in preparing laboratory professionals to understand, implement, and educate other members of the patient care team on the technology and product/processing changes involved in implementing Pathogen Reduction Technology (PRT) treated products, specifically PRT treated platelets. This is important because PRTs role is continuing to grow and develop in transfusion medicine. As with any change or development within the field, education must be provided and prioritized as policies and procedures are updated to reflect those developments and the evolution of the best practices. Given the professional responsibility to properly handle the product and serve as a resource for patient care teams, it is imperative to determine if laboratory professionals are being effectively prepared to handle implementation of new products and processes as they develop.
