Hysteroscopic resectoscope-directed biopsies and outpatient endometrial sampling for assessment of tumor histology in women with endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia
To evaluate and compare the diagnostic efficiency of outpatient endometrial sampling (OES) and hysteroscopic resectoscope-directed biopsies (HY Patients with AH or EC (n = 266) among 1013 patients consecutively referred because of postmenopausal bleeding were included. Identification of EC versus AH, and unfavorable tumor types (endometrioid grade 3 or non-endometrioid tumors) using OES and HY OES had only sufficient tissue samples in 72.7% of intended samples. Even when OES did provide sufficient material, addition of HY Addition of HY
