Abstract
Objective: To investigate the value of paraclinical examinations in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 267 patients diagnosed endometrial cancer at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Results: A total 267 patients participated in this study, there is 97.6% of postmenopausal patients had thick endometrial on ultrasound, 91.3% of cases had malignant endometrial biopsy results. Only 3.1% of case shows malignant cells in pap smears. 2.1% of cases had hysteroscopy before surgery, and 10.8% of cases had MRI scans to support stage diagnosis. Conclusion: Subclinical tests are valuable for diagnosis of endometrial cancer, helping to select treatments quickly and effectively.
