Abstract

(Abstracted from Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand 2016;95(12):1418–1424) Women with postmenopausal bleeding who present with an endometrial thickness 4 mm or less are at a very low risk of endometrial cancer, and therefore refraining from endometrial sampling in these women is considered justified. If the endometrial thickness is more than 4 mm, endometrial sampling is indicated to exclude endometrial cancer.
