(references SGO presentation) PCPs less likely to refer patients to gynecologic oncologists | HemOncToday





"..........Just 39.3% of family physicians and 51% of internists reported that they would refer the patient to the gynecologic oncologist. They were much more likely to refer their patients to obstetrician-gynecologists. Among obstetrician-gynecologists, however, two-thirds reported that they would refer a patient with abdominal pain and a suspicious ovarian mass to a gynecologic oncologist.........One-third of the obstetrician-gynecologists reported that they would operate on the patient themselves.........."

Goff B. #10. Presented at: the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists; March 6-9, 2011, Orlando, Fla.
