    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Cytopathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Postmenopausal bleeding is a common gynecologic concern.
    • Endometrial sampling is crucial for diagnosing malignancy.
    • Uterine curettage is a standard diagnostic procedure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Curity Isaacs Endometrial Cell Sampler.
    • To compare aspiration cytology with histology for diagnosing endometrial conditions.
    • To assess the sampler's performance in postmenopausal bleeding cases.

    Main Methods:

    • 100 patients with postmenopausal bleeding underwent endometrial aspiration using the Curity Isaacs sampler.
    • Cytologic material from smears was analyzed.
    • Histologic material was obtained via uterine curettage for comparison.

  • Smear and tissue diagnoses were correlated.

    • Main Results:

    • Satisfactory endometrial aspiration smears were obtained in 92% of patients.
    • Uterine curettage yielded tissue in only 48% of cases.
    • Of 17 patients with confirmed malignancy, 7 were detected by cytology (malignant or hyperplastic smears), and 3 smears were unsatisfactory.

    Conclusions:

    • The Curity Isaacs Endometrial Cell Sampler is a viable method for obtaining endometrial cytologic material.
    • The technique shows potential for diagnosing endometrial cancer in postmenopausal bleeding.
    • Further studies are recommended to validate this sampling method.
