Screening log: Challenges in community patient recruitment for gynecologic oncology clinical trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinical trial participation can improve overall survival and mitigate healthcare disparities for gynecologic cancer patients in low-volume community centers. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a centrally regulated but administratively decentralized electronic screening log system to identify eligible patients across a large catchment area for a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center's open clinical trials.

Methods

Electronic screening log data collected between 2014 and 2021 from ten community partner sites in a single NCI-designated cancer center's catchment area were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical factors assessed included cancer site, primary versus recurrent disease status, and histology. Identification efficiency (the rati
