  • Title: [Cancer of the endometrium: epidemiology, histology, diagnostic methods].
    Author: Caubel P, Blondon J, Foulques H, Lefranc JP.
    Journal: Rev Prat; 1990 Jan 01; 40(1):31-5. PubMed ID: 2300760.
    Abstract:
    Endometrial cancer has become one of the most frequent female cancers, second only to breast cancer. It must be looked for in women presenting several high risk factors for endometrial cancer, the common denominator of which is absolute or relative hyperoestrogenism. Hysteroscopy and guided biopsy are the most reliable techniques for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer and its precursors. These techniques must be used in symptomatic patients and in asymptomatic but high risk women whose selection remains controverted as regards the mass detection method.
