Outpatient hysteroscopy is an effective method for diagnosing endometrial cancer early. This procedure successfully identified all cancerous cases, offering a safe alternative to dilatation and curettage for abnormal uterine bleeding.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Oncology
  • Diagnostic Procedures

Background:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological issue.
  • Early diagnosis of endometrial cancer is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Dilatation and curettage (D&C) is a traditional diagnostic method.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of outpatient hysteroscopy in diagnosing endometrial cancer.
  • To compare hysteroscopy with D&C for early cancer detection.

Main Methods:

  • One hundred forty-three patients with AUB underwent outpatient hysteroscopy.
  • Endometrial features (color, vascularity, thickness, necrotic areas) were assessed.
  • Biopsies were taken for histological examination.

Main Results:

  • Hysteroscopy successfully identified three groups: cancer-negative, suspicious, and carcinoma.
  • Cancer was confirmed in 5 hysteroscopically diagnosed cases.
  • One of 16 suspicious cases was diagnosed with cancer via biopsy.
  • Procedures were performed on an outpatient basis with minimal complications.

Conclusions:

  • Outpatient hysteroscopy is a safe and effective tool for the early diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
  • Hysteroscopy can substitute D&C for diagnosing endometrial cancer in patients with AUB.
