What Is Uterine Cancer Test With Transvaginal Ultrasound?
Uterine Cancer Test With Transvaginal Ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure that screens for early signs of cancer in the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It combines detailed imaging of the uterus using a slender ultrasound probe inserted into the vagina with additional tests like an endometrial biopsy if needed.
This method provides clear images of the uterine lining and helps detect abnormal thickening or cellular changes early. The benefits include early detection of uterine cancer, accurate monitoring of the endometrium, and supporting timely intervention to improve treatment outcomes and overall reproductive health.
How It Works
Uterine Cancer Test With Transvaginal Ultrasound begins with a transvaginal ultrasound, where a slender, lubricated probe is gently inserted into the vagina. This probe uses high-frequency sound waves to produce clear, real-time images of the uterus, allowing doctors to measure the thickness of the endometrial lining. If the ultrasound shows abnormal thickening or irregularities, an endometrial biopsy may follow. For the biopsy, a thin, flexible tube is inserted through the cervix to collect a small tissue sample from the uterine lining for laboratory analysis. These tools and methods work together to detect early signs of uterine cancer and support accurate diagnosis.
