Evidence of spread to the cervical canal by D&C is found in 24 cases and confirm ed by surgery in 7 (29.2%) cases, giving a false positive rate of 70.8%. Negative finding in py with target biopsy is advisable in cases of: 1. Positive cervical finding in the D&C specimen; 2. Negative finding in D&C specimen amd persisting symptoms.
