Gynaecologists propose higher threshold for endometrial sampling
Researchers say they've identified the optimum endometrial thickness that should prompt investigation for malignancy
Many postmenopausal women with thickened endometrium but no bleeding could safely avoid hysteroscopy if the threshold for it was increased to a thickness of 9mm, an Australian study finds.
Melbourne gynaecologists say this new trigger for endometrial sampling in asymptomatic patients can detect malignancy with greater accuracy than the current >4mm cut-off.
