Abstrakt: The endometrial jet washing technique of Gravlee is a satisfactory method of screening for endometrial carcinoma. The uterine cavity can be irrigated with an unlimited amount of fluid under a negative pressure. Cell block preparations of the tissue samples have proved adequate to establish a diagnosis of endometrial adenocarcinoma for 5 of 287 screened patients. Subsequent curettage demonstrated that no endometrial cancers were overlooked.
