Abstract

Objective: Patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia may have concurrent endometrial cancer if managed surgically or develop cancer in time if managed conservatively. Therefore, intraoperative assessment of the uterus may be helpful if a surgical approach is decided on. Our study aimed to investigate the role of frozen-section examination in patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia.
