Office endometrial biopsies

Fifteen endometrial cancers were discovered in 587 office endometrial biopsies between 1956 and 1966, an incidence of 2.5 per cent. All of these patients have been followed for 5 or more years, and the survival rates, method of treatment, and pathologic findings were recorded. Endometrial tissue obtained by our method is adequate for pathologic section diagnosis. The over-all survival rate of the cancer patients was 93.3 per cent.
