Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent genital neoplasia in women. Our own experience is based on a group of 3310 patients who were studied between 1985 and April 1994. In 2148 cases, equivalent to 56.4%, hysteroscopy was performed because of the presence of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). We found 672 endometrial hyperplasia (601 low risk-71 high risk) and 93 endometrial carcinoma. According to our experience we can assert that: - hysteroscopy allows the measurement of the extension of the intracavitary neoplastic pathology and the definition of its topographic map; - it is the only method that allows a target biopsy; - it facilitates the evaluation of the extension of the neoplasia in the cervical canal, with the help of a deep biopsy into the cervical tissue (as proposed by La Sala) increasing its diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent genital neoplasia in women. Our own experience is based on a group of 3310 patients who were studied between 1985 and April 1994. In 2148 cases, equivalent to 56.4%, hysteroscopy was performed because of the presence of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). We found 672 endometrial hyperplasia (601 low risk-71 high risk) and 93 endometrial carcinoma. According to our experience we can assert that: - hysteroscopy allows the measurement of the extension of the intracavitary neoplastic pathology and the definition of its topographic map; - it is the only method that allows a target biopsy; - it facilitates the evaluation of the extension of the neoplasia in the cervical canal, with the help of a deep biopsy into the cervical tissue (as proposed by La Sala) increasing its diagnostic accuracy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
