Current Role of Pipelle Sampling

Plain-Language Summary
This review explores the role of Pipelle biopsy in early endometrial cancer diagnosis. While Pipelle is less invasive and widely used, its sensitivity varies and hysteroscopy remains more reliable for focal lesions.

Key Takeaways:

• Pipelle sampling is convenient and cost-effective.

• Accuracy is high for diffuse pathologies but limited for focal lesions.

• Hysteroscopy should be used when Pipelle results are inconclusive.
