Experience with a new combined method in the differential diagnostics of early endometrial changes.
The authors have performed in 30 cases ultrasonic examination of the endometrium followed by vacuum aspiration with TIS-U-TRAP device (Milex Prod. Inc., Chicago) with equipped a transvaginal head, to obtain samples for histological examination. In 8 of the 30 cases endometrial hyperplasia, while in 2 cases endometrial adenocarcinoma was verified. The authors suggest that transvaginal ultrasonic examination together with vacuum aspiration is suitable for oncological screening of the endometrium.
