The Curity Isaacs Endometrial Cell Sampler was used to obtain cytologic material from 100 consecutive patients presenting with postmenopausal bleeding. It was followed by uterine curettage to obtain material for histology. Satisfactory endometrial aspiration smears were obtained from 92 patients, whereas curettage yielded endometrial tissue in only 48. Of 17 patients with histologic confirmation of malignancy, 7 had smears diagnosed as showing malignancy, and 7 had smears showing hyperplastic changes; 3 of the aspiration smears were judged to be unsatisfactory for cytologic evaluation. All the carcinomas were found in the hyperplastic, malignant or unsatisfactory smears. This technique is worthy of further study.
使用库里蒂·艾萨克斯子宫内膜细胞采样器从100例连续出现绝经后出血的患者中获取细胞学材料。随后进行子宫刮宫以获取组织学材料。92例患者获得了满意的子宫内膜抽吸涂片，而刮宫仅在48例中获取到子宫内膜组织。在17例经组织学确诊为恶性肿瘤的患者中，7例涂片诊断为恶性，7例涂片显示增生性改变；3例抽吸涂片被判定不适合进行细胞学评估。所有癌均在增生性、恶性或不满意的涂片中发现。该技术值得进一步研究。
