The overall survival of women with endometrial cancer is excellent after management. Different management strategies are associated with variable patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Evaluating PROs in the follow-up period can aid in better counseling and intervention for PRO improvement. This study aimed to evaluate the properties of the Slovenian translation of the EORTC QLQ-EN24 assessment scale. Women treated at the University Medical Centre Maribor, Slovenia, between January 2016 and December 2019 were invited to report their symptoms using the EORTC QLQ-EN24 questionnaire. Data were correlated with treatment modalities and clinical characteristics. The median age of participants in our study was 61 years old. PROs were not specific to therapy or clinical characteristics. Overall, women who more frequently reported gastrointestinal symptoms, muscular pain, or back pain also had statistically more frequently decreased levels of PROs in other assessed areas. Women who reported sexual or vaginal problems more often reported significantly poorer body images. Sexual activity within 4 weeks prior to completing the scale was reported by 39% of women. Sexual functioning assessments also showed important correlations between sexual interest, enjoyment, and activity. Individualized follow-ups addressing PROs should be offered to better address concerns and improve long-term outcomes in women with endometrial cancer.

Purpose: In Slovenia, palliative medicine and care are developing more intensively in the last years. Appraisal of the existing evidence on, expectations in, and awareness about palliative care (PC) in Slovenia is essential to inform the emerging practice and future research. Methods: A cross–sectional survey of 2000 individuals aged over 18 years old was performed. Information was collected using a structured questionnaireconsisting of 18 items. Analysis of the questions is presented using descriptive statistics. The significance level was set at p ≤0.05 in all analyses. Results: 58.6% of participants report having little awareness of PC, with most information received via media (radio, TV, internet) and experience obtaineddirectly or through family and friends. In this sample, increasing age, being female and higher levels of education were related to higher reported levels of awareness of PC. 69.6% of our participants said they wish to die at home. According to our participants, patients at home need, their physical symptoms be well controlled (93.8%), followed by medical and health care (65.9%), and support from voluntary carers (41.4%) and they also highlighted the wish of relatives and patients to be consulted via telephone by a health care providers in case of problems (55.4%). 28.4% confirmed they know the advance healthcare directive form. Conclusion: The survey data presented here provides an empirical basis from which we can begin stimulating discussions about death, dying and support empowered decision–making, as confronting end of life issues is inevitable for us all. All patients have the right to dignity and peace through their last stages of life.

Conclusion* Conization of the cervix under local analgesia is as effective in pain prevention as general analgetica and reduce the amount of bleeding during and possibly after the operation. More resurch is needed to conclude the preferred routh of analgesia.
