Abstract
Objective: To determine the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy in endometrial cancer.
Methods: 216 patients underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy. A comparison was made between hysteroscopic impression and histological examination.
Results: Sensitivity of hysteroscopy for diagnosing of endometrial cancer was 83.33%, specificity was 99.04%, positive predictive value was 71.42% and negative predictive value was 99.52%.
Conclusion: Hysteroscopy was found to have a very important role in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
