What tests are needed for endometrial cancer?

Examinations for endometrial cancer include hysteroscopy, cystoscopy, colonoscopy, lymph node imaging, CT and MRI examinations, B-type ultrasound examinations, etc.

1. Hysteroscopy: About 200% of patients with postmenstrual vaginal bleeding For endometrial cancer, the application of hysteroscopy can directly observe the cervical canal and uterine cavity, detect lesions, accurately perform biopsy, improve the diagnostic rate of biopsy, avoid routine, provide information such as the extent of the lesion and cervical canal involvement, and help correct clinical staging before surgery.

2. Cystoscopy and proctoscopy: whether the tumor invasion is significant, but biopsy should confirm bladder or rectal involvement.

3. Lymphatic angiography, CT and MRI: The main route of transmission of endometrial cancer is lymphatic metastasis. CT and MRI are mainly used to understand the uterine cavity, cervical lesions, myometrial penetration depth, lymph node growth of more than 2 cm, etc. Due to the high cost, they have not yet been used as routine examinations.

4. B-ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound examination has made some progress in assisting the diagnosis of endometrial lesions. B-ultrasound examination can understand the size and shape of the uterus, whether there are vegetations in the uterus, the thickness of the endometrium, whether the myometrium is penetrated and the depth, and provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and uterine biopsy or scraping of pathological materials. Women with uterine bleeding can choose to further diagnose the results of B-ultrasound examination through vaginal B-ultrasound examination.
