1.1. Bleeding is the most common symptom of adenocarcinoma of the body of the uterus, having been present in every one of our 71 cases.2.2. Three case reports illustrate: the importance of irregular premenstrual bleeding; the significance of postmenopausal microscopic bleeding; and the association of adenocarcinoma and hyperplasia.3.3. A chart is presented which stimulates the interest of the patient in bleeding, provides a graphic record, and aids in the interpretation of premenstrual bleeding.4.4. Examination of a single fragment of tissue is inadequate. Sections from all the curettings should be studied.5.5. Early diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the body of the uterus depends upon the education of the laity to observe and report all irregularities of premenopausal bleeding and all postmenopausal bleeding. |
