    CYTOLOGIC DETECTION OF ENDOMETRIAL CARCINOMA BY THE ENDOCYTE TECHNIQUE
    (1983) YAZIGI, R; SANCHEZ, J; DUARTE, I; VERNI, J
    Patients (97) admitted for diagnostic curettage of peri- and postmenopausal bleeding underwent cytologic evaluation by the endocyte technique to test the accuracy of the method. Six patients with endometrial carcinoma were diagnosed by curettage and in 5 of them the cytologic specimens correctly agreed with histology; the other case was an inadequate sample for cytologic diagnosis. Hyperplastic endometrium was found in 14 cases by curettage; only 3 of them were detected by cytology. This cytologic technique proved to be satisfactory in diagnosing endometrial cancer but inadequate for detection of premalignant lesions.
