A member asked:
I had d and c and hysterscopy for abnormal uterine bleeding. does hysteroacopy detect cancer during procedure or only when removed tissue is analyzed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, it may suggest: No, tissue is needed for diagnosis. Irregularity, nodules or masses on hysteroscopy may suggest likely cancer but rissue analysis by a pathologist is required both to tell what type and grade and prognosis of cancer and to screen out benign causses of irregularity or nodular mass.
