First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle reminder to doctors can increase referrals to gynecologic oncology for women with suspicious ovarian masses. Researchers will send a message to ordering providers within 48 hours of imaging results, encouraging them to refer patients. The study includes 20 women and compares results to past patients to see if the nudge helps more women see a specialist within 30 days.
