Abstract
Another look is taken at 20,677 endometrial biopsies; this technique is presented as a practical and economical means of achieving early detection and diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma. A total of 187 were detected; 32 (17 per cent) were asymptomatic. Routine Papanicolaou smear was helpful in only 26 per cent of instances. Eleven carcinomas (5.9 per cent) could not be diagnosed by endometrial biopsy because of stenosis of the cervix or obstructing tumors. Reference is made to 225 associated Gravlee washes. A detailed report will follow. The author emphasizes that any technique is of value only when positive or atypical and if it alerts the physician that further tests should be done.
