  • Title: Uterine cancer screening by the family physician.
    Author: Boone MI, Calvert JC, Gates HS.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1984 Nov; 30(5):157-66. PubMed ID: 6437199.
    Abstract:
    Endometrial diagnostic techniques available to the family physician for office use have a high degree of accuracy in identifying intrauterine pathology. Recent refinements in endometrial sampling devices have made their use cost-effective and complication rates minimal. These methods can be utilized annually for screening asymptomatic women at high risk of developing uterine cancer. Detection of endometrial hyperplasia has improved with the newer samplers. Patient acceptance is excellent, especially with the cytologic devices.
