A member asked:

How does a gynocologist choose between rec for endo biopsy vs d&c? for pt w/cancer hx, thickened endo wall, fibroid, cervical bump, shall i go4 d&c?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Purpose will be same: D&c kept the gold standard for a century , where cervix is dilated and plenty of endometrium is scraped for biopsy, is quick and needs anesthesia. Where endometrial biopsy a catheter is inserted and suction biopsy is done most of the time with sedation in the office , both will get endometrium for biopsy , ask gyn doc will tell which will be better for a reason.
