Introduction

The 'You Need to Know' (YNTK) uterine cancer (UC) awareness campaign was designed and conducted in North East London (NEL) in response to high UC mortality rates reported among women from Black and Asian minority groups. YNTK aimed to raise awareness of red-flag symptoms, address misconceptions and encourage earlier presentation to healthcare services with a long-term aim of reducing the number of patients diagnosed with advanced stage UC.
