THE LINK
§ The precursor lesion of type I endometrial
cancer specifically the endometrioid type of
adenocarcinoma is endometrial
hyperplasia.
§ However, not every case of endometrial
hyperplasia proceeds to endometrial
carcinoma.
§ Accurate diagnosis and management of
true premalignant endometrial lesions
can reduce the likelihood of development of
invasive endometrial cancer .

Unopposed estrogen lead to increased
mitotic activity of endometrial cells resulting
in more frequent errors in DNA replication
and somatic mutations.

or a premalignant endometrial lesion.
•An endometrial sampling procedure is the gold standard for diagnostic
evaluation of women with abnormal uterine bleeding in whom endometrial
hyperplasia or carcinoma is a possibility.

Atypical Hyperplasia

The endometrial glands


are highly irregular in size
and shape and show
frequent outpouchings.
The atypia is
characterized by enlarged
round nuclei, irregular
chromatin distribution, and
prominent nucleoli.
Management of
Atypical Hyperplasia
1. Definitive management is an extrafascial
hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-
oophorectomy (BSO).
2. A supracervical or subtotal hysterectomy is
unacceptable .
§ Removal of the cervix and lower uterine segment along
with the uterine corpus permits staging of any
incidentally discovered cancers and reduces the risk of
leaving behind residual disease.

OVARIAN like growth factor (IGF-1) concentrations,

Endometrial Sampling
sampling method?
Hysteroscopy with targeted Endometrial biopsy (EMB)
Dilatation and Curettage
endometrial biopsy with a pipelle

Hysteroscopy with targeted endometrial biopsy and Dilatation and


curettage is preferred over endometrial biopsy since the accuracy
of the endometrial biopsy in premenopausal women is lower and
the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma may be misinterpreted as
endometrial hyperplasia in 15-25% of cases.

D&C may also be better at evaluating tumor grade than office


endometrial biopsy with significantly less cases being upgraded.

ENDOMETRIAL CANCER DIAGNOSIS
1.Endometrial cancer requires histologic confirmation and is
diagnosed by endometrial biopsy. Its accuracy in detecting
endometrial cancer is approximately 90%
2.Dilatation and curettage or hysteroscopy is generally reserved for
those women who continue to have symptoms that cannot be
explained by the results of the office biopsy.
– The accuracy of Pipelle endometrial biopsy performed in an office
is comparable to dilatation and curettage in women with
postmenopausal bleeding
– With the 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and
Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system, performance of
endocervical curettage (ECC) is no longer necessary.9
– No need for a fractional curettage

over D&C alone because it has a higher

blind D&C. Directed biopsy thru hysteroscopic
guidance will afford confirmation of diagnosis of a
true premalignant endometrial lesion and exclude
endometrial carcinoma.

Important Considerations:
1. Endometrial sampling should be performed to
document regression to normal endometrium
every 3-6 months .
2. The endometrial sampling should be done after
the withdrawal bleed. This minimizes cytologic
and architectural effects of progesterone that could
otherwise interfere with accurate histologic
interpretation.
3. If regression to normal endometrium does not
occur after six months, the progestin dose may
be increased.
4. If atypia is noted or endometrial cancer develops
the patient should be managed appropriately

Obstet Gynecol 2012; 120:1160.
Endometrial Biopsy

Atypical Hyperplasia

The endometrial glands


are highly irregular in size
and shape and show
frequent outpouchings.
The atypia is
characterized by enlarged
round nuclei, irregular
chromatin distribution, and
prominent nucleoli.
MANAGEMENT
FACTORS TO CONSIDER
The choice of treatment of endometrial
hyperplasia is based on three factors:
1. Presence or absence of nuclear
atypia,
2. Age
3. The desire for fertility.
The interplay of the above factors
determines the primary treatment modality.

PROGESTIN USE in
Atypical hyperplasia
§ Continuous treatment is superior to cyclic progestins .
§ The levonorgestrel releasing IUD is more effective
than oral progestins in treating women with
hyperplasia and complex atypical hyperplasia .
§ Once the endometrium reverts to normal the woman
must be co managed with an infertility specialist and
actively pursue all options to get pregnant. Once
childbearing is complete definitive management is
recommended
§ Extrafascial Hysterectomy is recommended for
treatment failures.
