A member asked:
Does an endometrial biopsy take samples of the whole lining? if my small polyp was cancerous would the lining around it be affected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No/No: Endometrial biopsy samples a portion of the lining. The lining may be normal, even though the small polyp is cancerous
