What screenings are available for uterine cancer?

Screening for uterine cancer is based on symptoms. Patients who have abnormal bleeding after menopause should be evaluated by their OB-GYN or family practice doctor. The screening test that we use is a test called endometrial biopsy, where a small device is placed inside the natural opening of the cervix to the uterus. A small amount of tissue is collected from here to help us understand what the problem is so we can move forward taking care of it the way that it needs to be done.
