Re: uterine cancer?

I had an endometrial biopsy done-too much tissue and bleeding after menopause- now I have to have a mass removed and biopsy done-tissue came back ok-can it still be cancer? any help?

I would think it is unlikely to be a cancer. However, if your doctor suggests removing your uterus, LET HIM.

I am sure you are quite attached to your uterus, but, why take the chance. If your biopsy came back okay, then most likely, the mass is benign, but, do you really want to take that chance.

Good luck.

There is always a chance of getting a false negative on a biopsy. You wouldn't be the first person, but it isn't likely. Many people have benign uterine masses after menopause. Please just see your doctor for any recommended follow-up appointments and for a yearly physical and you should be fine. Since the biopsy came back negative, I wouldn't sweat it.

Are you saying that the biopsy was negative for cancer? That is very good news!
