Summary

This study tests whether a vaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy can accurately identify cancerous uterine tumors before surgery. If successful, it could help doctors avoid using morcellation—a technique that can accidentally spread cancer—in women with suspicious fibroids. The study involves 19 women aged 35 and older at 10 French hospitals.
