Not technically: A transvaginal ultrasound is a great test to visualize the uterus and it can show a thickened uterine lining, which can be associated with endometrial cancer but not always as there are other causes of a thickened endometrial lining. The only way to accurately diagnose endometrial cancer is with an endometrial biopsy or a D&C. An US alone cannot be used to diagnose endometrial cancer.

Ultrasound in 2018 stated mild adenomyosis. Im worried now that it could be mistaken for endometrial cancer as it also causes a thickened lining of the uterus. Would I have had more symptoms by now if it was (god forbid) cancer? Should I get biopsy?
