Abstract:

Introduction: Uterine cancer represented by the endometrial cancer is the most common form of cancer for adult woman with a tendency to increase due to the high life expectancy for woman. An early diagnosis of endometrial cancer increases proportional for correct treatment like in all cases of cancer. Material and Methods: During a year a study was conducted about the value of the vaginal ultrasound of 112 woman with pre- and post-menopause bleeding making an association with the results of the histopathological analysis obtained from the uterine curettage biopsy. Results: A increased thickness of the endometrium higher than 8mm was found in endometrial cancer, endometrial hyperplasia and glandular cystic hyperplasia. Conclusion: There was a statistically significant association (p<0.001) between the endometrium thickness and the histopathology analysis results. The differences obtained between the thickness of the endometrium in endometrial cancer and endometrial hyperplasia have no statistically significant association (p=0.31) though there is a statistically significant association (p=0.0036) between endometrial hyperplasia and proliferative endometrium.
