Why is it important?
Few studies have examined the accuracy of preoperative endometrial cytology in diagnosing low- and high-risk histology in patients with endometrial cancer. Lymphadenectomy is proposed to be advantageous in patients with endometrial cancer when preoperative histology indicates high-risk disease, for example, grade 3 endometrioid or non-endometrioid histology. Endometrial cytology may be useful for predicting high-risk histology in association with endometrial biopsy.
