The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of different diagnostic tools in the screening for endometrial neoplasms in women receiving tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment after surgery for breast cancer. The Authors' experience, while confirming the importance of a very strict and careful follow-up, stresses the higher sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic hysteroscopy.
