Popis: In the early differential diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC), decisive and mandatory histological aspects are considered, in addition to obvious clinical manifestations. In addition, sonographic aspects are characteristic in relation to the stage, degree, and histological types of identified cancer. This bi-center retrospective observational study included 594 women with abnormal uterine bleeding outside pregnancy, for which a biopsy was performed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Departments of the Emergency County Hospitals of Arad and Timis Counties, Romania, between 2015 and 2019. Most of the cases were represented by EC or endometrial hyperplasia (EH). Of the 594 cases, 25.5% (n = 153) were EC at women aged between 41 and 85 years. High International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) scores (3, 4) were associated with a relative risk of 2.9335 compared with other endometrial lesions (95% CI 2.3046 to 3.734, p < 0.0001, NNT 1.805). Histological aspects and pelvic ultrasound using IETA scores represent valuable noninvasive assets in diagnosing and differentiating endometrial cancer from benign uterine pathology.
