Abstract

The techniques available for histologic sampling of endometrial tissue are reviewed and their relative accuracy is discussed. A newer modification of the suction curettage is described, and experience in screening 120 patients is presented. In 98 patients the correlation between the histology obtained by suction curettage and subsequent formal sharp curettage under anesthesia is compared. An absolute correlation of over 95% is demonstrated and the discrepancies are explained. No cancers or cancer precursors were missed. The technique is considered useful and accurate for screening patients at risk for endometrial cancer.
