Value of Cervical Cytology in Diagnosing Endometrial Carcinoma in Women with Postmenopausal Bleeding

Abstract

Adding the results of the cervical smear to endometrial thickness could detect incidental endometrial cancers that are missed by transvaginal sonography (< 5 mm). In women with postmenopausal bleeding the presence of normal endometrial cells is not predictive of endometrial cancer.
