Abstract

The aim of this study is to show the correlation between histopathological findings of preoperative exploratory uterine curettage with the result of postoperative histopathological findings in endometrial cancer. Our retrospective study included 386 patients who underwent exploratory curettage and were diagnosed with endometrial cancer, and who were then subjected to surgical treatment for endometrial cancer. The patients were operated on in the period from 2016-2020. at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic “Narodni Front”. Retrospectively, 388 patients who underwent exploratory curettage and were diagnosed with endometrial cancer were included, who were then operated on. The mean age of the patients was 62.7 years and the coincidence of the findings of the histopathological type of endometrial cancer obtained by exploratory curettage and postoperatively was determined in 71.6%, and the coincidence of the histological grade of the cancer in 61.6% of cases. Exploratory uterine cirrhosis is a diagnostic procedure for endometrial cancer. Our results showed that in 4% of cases of endometrial cancers diagnosed by exploratory curettage, they were not found in the postoperative histopathological finding
