Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Endometrial cancer survivors with weight management

Survivors of low-risk early-stage endometrial cancer up to 36 months post primary treatment with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2

Weight loss with pharmacotherapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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.

Weight loss without pharmacotherapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants not on medications will have their weight recorded at subsequent cancer surveillance or other routine medical visits
