Subsequently, the provided endometrial sample should be assessed by an expert pathologist, in order to make a precise diagnosis regarding grade and type of EC [3,4,7,16,19,34].…”

Nevertheless, dilatation and curettage provides better specimens compared with office endometrial biopsy and it is preferable [5,8,26,27,[29][30][31]]. An expert pathologist should assess the endometrial specimen, in order to provide an accurate diagnosis of the grade and the type of EC [5,8,11,13,29].…”
