Liquid ‐based endometrial cytology using SurePathTM is not inferior to suction endometrial tissue biopsy for detecting endometrial malignancies‐Midterm report of a multicenter study advocated by Japan Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists‐

ConclusionsThe clinical performance of liquid ‐based endometrial cytology for detecting endometrial malignancies was almost identical to the performance of suction endometrial tissue biopsy. This indicates that liquid‐based endometrial cytology was not inferior to suction endometrial tissue biopsy for the detection of endometrial cancer. Th e liquid‐based endometrial cytology is appropriate for various clinical situations as the first‐step detecting tool. In addition, it could be used for cancer surveillance for women with signs highly suggestive of endometrial malignancies and in Lynch syndrome patients, on a larger scale.This article is protected by copyright.
