Outpatient endometrial sampling.

Endometrial sampling is an easily performed, economical, and accurate outpatient diagnostic procedure with wide application in gynecology. It is readily accepted by patients as an alternative to inpatient dilatation and curettage. The information which it provides relative to endometrial histology enables the physician to detect premalignant and malignant processes, to be precise in making diagnoses, and to document the results of therapy.
