title: Early evaluation of postmenopausal hormonal steroid therapy by scanning electron microscopy of the uterine epithelium.
abstract: Scanning electron microscopy has been used in a preliminary study to evaluate the value of steroid replacement therapies in restoring uterine epithelium in postmenopausal patients. All therapies resulted in increased epithelium over controls, but one regime was markedly better than others.
