Ans. b. Office endometrial aspirate: Endometrial carcinomaOffice endometrial aspirate is not used for screening of Endometrial carcinoma.Transvaginal ultrasound and endometrial sampling have been advocated as screening tests for endometrial cancer but benefit from routine screening have not been shown.`Screening for endometrial cancer should currently not be undeaken because of a lack of an appropriate, cost-effective and acceptable test that reduces moality.
