Abstract
The purpose of this study is to asses the feasibility of the new technique of suction curettage (MR Method) in the diagnosis of endometrial cancers. In the course of our investigation involving 356 patients it was possible to perform the suction curettage without anesthesia on 348 (97.8%) patients. In another 9 patients the material from the corpus were inadequate due to endometrial atrophy. Of 339 patients, endometrial cancer was discovered in 12, and adenomatous hyperplasia in 8 cases. The method was found to be reliable histologically. No serious complications occurred during or after the suction curettage. There were two cases with syncope and recovered spontaneously. The pro-cedure of the MR method without anesthesia was well tolerated by the patients.
