To diagnose uterine cancer, your doctor will ask about symptoms, examine you and may ask about your medical history. If your doctor suspects womb cancer, s/he will refer you to a gynaecologist(a specialist in women's reproductive health).You may have a number of tests, eg a transvaginal ultrasound scan whereby a small ultrasound probe is gently put into your vagina to produce an image of the inside of your womb. Measuring the thickness of the womb lining can help to diagnose womb cancer. The doctor may also take a biopsy-a small sample of tissue for testing to determine if the cells are benign or cancerous. This is the only way to definitively diagnose womb cancer. If you have cancer, you may need to have other tests to assess if the cancer has spread.
