title: [The Gemeprost test in the screening of endometrial pathology].
abstract: A randomized clinical trial has been performed to evaluate the efficacy of intravaginal 1 mg Gemeprost for pre-operative cervical dilatation prior to vacuum aspiration and curettage for endometrial biopsy. Eighty-nine patients were evaluated, 51 treated with Gemeprost and 38 with placebo: in the first group biopsy was possible in 94% of cases vs 86% in the second group. Pain was significantly reduced with Gemeprost improving the success rate and the patient compliance.
