Summary

"This trial aims to improve outcomes for ovarian cancer patients by ensuring they see a gynecologic oncologist promptly after diagnosis. Currently, many patients do not see a specialist, leading to delays in treatment,

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals diagnosed with ovarian cancer, peritoneal neoplasm, or fallopian tube cancer. It aims to improve the referral rate to gynecologic oncology specialists at diagnosis. The study focuses on patients who have not yet seen a gynecologic oncologist.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a 'nudge' strategy to increase referrals of newly diagnosed patients to gynecologic oncologists. Its effectiveness will be measured against past data where no such nudge was applied.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves a referral process rather than medication or surgery, there are no direct medical side effects associated with the nudge itself.
