Appropriate evaluation of postmenopausal bleeding
Menopause.
2018 Dec.
Abstract
: In clinical practice, although only 3% to 7% of women with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) will ultimately be found to have cancer, it is the clinician's responsibility to ensure that endometrial cancer is not present. The diagnostic evaluation of PMB has evolved greatly. This Practice Pearl addresses the appropriate evaluation of women with PMB.
