[Role of hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma]
Abstract
With the apparently increasing incidence of endometrial carcinoma, much importance has been attached to the early and exact diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma. This article mainly focuses on diagnostic techniques of endometrial carcinoma, especially diagnostic hysteroscopy and its assessment of myometrial invasion as well as stage of endometrial carcinoma. Whether hysteroscopy increases the risk of microscopic extrauterine spread is also discussed in this article.
