Ultrasound can be used as the preferred method of endometrial cancer diagnosis to initially determine the nature of the lesion, while histopathologic testing is required to confirm the diagnosis of the disease.
For people with symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding and fluid, uterine fluid, and lower abdominal pain, gynecologic ultrasound can be the first step when endometrial cancer is suspected.
Through ultrasound examination, endometrial thickening or abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity with abundant blood flow can be found; transvaginal ultrasound examination can also be chosen to clarify the size and shape of the uterus, the presence of redundant organisms in the cavity, and the thickness of endometrial lining, etc., so as to make preliminary judgment on the disease.
However, ultrasound can only provide a preliminary judgment, but also need to be based on the patient’s specific situation, combined with other tests to make a comprehensive judgment, such as diagnostic scraping, hysteroscopy, serum tumor marker test.
Among them, certain tissues are scraped from the endometrium, and the diagnosis of endometrial cancer can be clarified after histopathological examination, which is the gold standard for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.
