About Intention to Treat

Welcome to “Intention to Treat,” a podcast exploring the critical issues shaping medicine today. In a new 8-week series, The Race Equation, we confront harmful assumptions about race in clinical medicine—from diagnostic algorithms to guidelines—exploring how these practices took hold, why they endure, and what it will take to change them.  Hosted by health care journalist Rachel Gotbaum, the “Intention to Treat” podcast from the New England Journal of Medicine delves into groundbreaking research and clinical advances while sharing the personal stories from doctors and their patients, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes look at discoveries that are changing medical practice on the front lines of health care.  Listen to The Race Equation and follow “Intention to Treat” on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

We have very, very clear algorithms in gynecology of what you do when that happens, how you work that up. Our algorithm says that you do an ultrasound, you measure the endometrial thickness, and if it's less than four millimeters, then that person has a 99 to 100 percent negative predictive value of having an endometrial cancer. In essence, you can avoid doing an endometrial biopsy because in population level studies, you don't see endometrial cancers under that threshold. […]
