    Preeffective endometrial cancer diagnosis using curettage is less reliable than examining the uterus after removal. Post-operative examination of the excised uterus is more valuable for diagnosing endometrial malignancy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Endometrial cancer diagnosis often precedes hysterectomy.
    • Curettage is a common preoperative diagnostic tool.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of prehysterectomy curettage in diagnosing endometrial cancer.
    • To compare curettage efficacy with post-operative uterine examination.

    Main Methods:

    • Assessed the extent of routine prehysterectomy curettage.
    • Evaluated clinicians' accuracy in diagnosing cancer from curettings.
    • Examined uteri removed without preoperative cancer diagnosis for gross lesions.

    Main Results:

    • Preeffective curettage has limitations in definitively ruling out endometrial cancer.

  • Examination of the opened excised uterus proved more effective for diagnosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Post-operative examination of the uterus is superior to prehysterectomy curettage for operative diagnosis of endometrial malignancy.
    • Relying solely on prehysterectomy curettage may miss some endometrial cancers.
