title: [Detection of cancer of the endometrium].
abstract: The frequency and severity of endometrial cancer justify the effort of a screening. The screening methods most used currently are based on the microscopical study of the cellular material taken from the uterine cavity. More recently a non-invasive method, the progestative test, has been offered. The results of the screening and the problems raised by the various techniques are discussed.
