Abstract

Ten-year experience with ultrasonography was gained at an outpatient center. Within this period, 27000 examinations were performed in 11996 females. The credibility of the method in diagnosing endometrial pathology was 85.8%. Cancer morbidity for the last 5 years was compared in the ultrasonography and no ultrasonography groups. Endometrial cancer morbidity was 6.2 times higher in the latter group. Large-scale application of the procedure followed by adequate treatment assures significantly lower incidence of said pathology.
