Ultrasound Is Used To Detect Endometrial Cancers.

Researchers found that transvaginal ultrasound screening can show many cases of endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women before any appearance of symptoms. According to Ian Jacobs, MD, of University College London, and colleagues more than 80% of cases can be determined by this test and about 15% of them is false. 
Jacobs and colleagues reported online in The Lancet Oncology that in order to develop the sensitivity and specificity, the ultrasound screening would be restricted to a high-risk population. Many experts disagree with this technique as it can't be cost-effective.  Jonathan Berek, MD, of Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif, said in an e-mail "Symptoms usually vaginal bleeding will be improved in all women with endometrial cancer before it spreads. Once symptoms appear the diagnosis will be performed by an endometrial biopsy".
