Summary

This study looks at whether a menstrual cup can collect enough uterine tissue to screen for endometrial cancer, especially in women with Lynch syndrome who are at higher risk. About 25 participants will use a menstrual cup at home and also have a standard biopsy, then compare the samples. If it works, this could be a simpler, less painful way to catch cancer early.
