| Sumario: | The main challenge in the pathway analysis of cancer treatments is the complexity of the process. Process mining is one of the approaches that can be used to visualize and analyze these complex pathways. In this study, our purpose was to use process mining to explore variations in the treatment pathways of endometrial cancer. We extracted patient data from a hospital information system, created the process model, and analyzed the variations of the 62-day pathway from a General Practitioner referral to the first treatment in the hospital. We also analyzed the variations based on three different criteria: the type of the first treatment, the age at diagnosis, and the year of diagnosis. This approach should be of interest to others dealing with complex medical and healthcare processes.
