Bajpai, Rose publish article in Gynecologic Oncology Reports

UW Department of Ob-Gyn resident Rusha Bajpai, MD, PGY-3, and Stephen Rose, MD, professor in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, co-authored a new study in Gynecologic Oncology Reports. Co-authors include Tammy Mundale, Natalia Gontarczyk Uczkowski, and Amy Godecker, PhD, MS.

In “Adnexal mass referral patterns in Gynecologic Oncology,” Bajpai, Rose, and co-authors sought to determine how many adnexal mass referrals to Gynecologic Oncology meet standards set out by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). They hypothesized that the increased proportion of referrals that meet the ACOG criteria may be due to increased scrutiny on the part of gynecologic oncologists.

“Improved scrutiny of adnexal mass referrals could decrease the number of benign cases evaluated by Gynecologic Oncology, helping preserve resources for patients with higher risk of malignancy.”
