Safety of diagnostic hysteroscopy for the investigation of type II endometrial cancer: systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of diagnostic hysteroscopy (HSC) in type II endometrial cancer (EC).

Methods

We searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library and the Chinese Medical Journal Full-Text Database until December 2023. Eligible trials were all cohort studies in which patients were allocated to diagnostic HSC group or dilation and curettage (D&C) group.
