Description
Summary:Endometrial hyperplasia is known to be a precursor lesion for development of endometrial adenocarcinoma, which is the most common gynaecological cancer in Hong Kong. Recently, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists/British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (RCOG/BSGE) published a joint guideline in February 2016 on the management of endometrial hyperplasia. In this article, we review the development of the classification of endometrial hyperplasia, as well as the investigation and management of endometrial hyperplasia in reference both to the Hong Kong College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and RCOG/BSGE guidelines.
