“…Very rarely, there were reports of uterine perforation or cervical tear because of the biopsy. The complications of uterine curettage included uterine perforation (6–13 per 1000 patients), infection (3–5 per 1000 patients), and laceration of the cervix 2,11,12 . Severity of postoperative pain varied from mild (72%), moderate (24%) to severe (4%) 13 …”

The outpatient monitoring of the endometrium is mandatory in a defined high-risk population. Countless reports support this thesis. The authors' candidates for screening include initial samples of all patients over 40 years of age, with annual evaluation of a high risk group. This included patients with a family history of endometrial cancer, where the endometrium is subjected to continue estrogen stimulation either exogenous or endogenous, abnormal perimenopausal or postmenopausal bleeding, low fertility, and the medical triad of obesity, diabetes and/or hypertension. The methodology of monitoring is outlined and assessed. The ease of performance, inexpensiveness, and accuracy of 94% had led the authors to support cytology. Combined cytology, histology and hysteroscopy are needed in selected cases.

This article deals with a 6-yr mass screening program for the early detection of endometrial cancer, which took place 1978-1983. The diagnostic accuracy of endometrial cytology and the possibility of integrating this technique with the hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy were studied. The authors analyzed 2,504 outpatients, all over the age of 45. The results of endometrial cytology were compared with those found using hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy. Endometrial cytology showed high sensitivity in diagnosing endometrial cancer (97.7%) and high specificity in diagnosing true negatives. However, this technique was not adequate in identifying benign endometrial pathology, e.g., endometrial hyperplasia, polyps, or submucous fibromas. Epidemiological and clinical data in our series were fundamental in establishing mass screening for the early detection of endometrial cancer using integrated techniques. These data should be taken into consideration for creating new projects. The significantly high prevalence of endometrial neoplasia even in asymptomatic women over 45 years of age (4 per 1000) and the possibility of improving the accuracy of endometrial diagnosis using hysteroscopy and endometrial biopsy were the cornerstones of this project.
