The objective of the study was to compare the outcome measures of @entity1 with @entity1204 diagnosed by endometrial biopsy, uterine curettage, or hysteroscopy. Medical records of 392 @entity1 diagnosed with apparent early-stage @entity1204 were reviewed. Data concerning the mode of diagnosis, histologic type and grade, surgical stage, peritoneal washings and lymph nodes status, and @entity1 's outcome were retrieved. During the study period, 99 (25.3%) cases were diagnosed by endometrial biopsy, 193 (49.2%) by uterine curettage, and 100 (25.5%) by hysteroscopy. There were 347 (88.5%) cases of @entity4348 and 45 (11.5%) of poor histologic types, including serous papillary, clear cell, and @entity5 . Three hundred and sixteen (80.6%) @entity1 had stage I disease, 8 (2.0%) stage II, and 68 (17.4%) stage III. Peritoneal cytology was positive in only one case. @entity66 occurred in 6.9% @entity1 , of which 50% had local recurrence and 50% had distant. @entity66 was found in 15.2% @entity1 diagnosed by endometrial biopsy, in 4.7% where uterine curettage was used, and in 5% when hysteroscopy was applied. No statistically significant difference in the survival rate between the different diagnostic methods applied was found, although a higher recurrence rate was noted following endometrial biopsy. After a median follow-up time of 25 months for @entity1 undergoing hysteroscopy, there was no difference in recurrence rates and/or overall survival compared to other diagnostic procedures implying that hysteroscopy can be safely used in the diagnosis of @entity1204 .

Does hysteroscopy affect prognosis in apparent early-stage XXXX ?
