A member asked:
After an endometrial biopsy comes back negative for hyperplasia/cancer.. whats the chance of a d&c showing cancer a month later?? also have a polyp
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always a chance: The possibility does exist that a cancer could not have been sampled. Sampling is done in a systemic fashion to lower the chances of it.
