Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this guideline is to aid primary care physicians and gynaecologists in the initial evaluation of women with suspected endometrial hyperplasia, to recommend the use of the 2014 World Health Organization classification for endometrial hyperplasia by all health care providers, and to guide the optimal treatment of women diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia.
INTENDED USERS: Physicians, including gynaecologists, obstetricians, family physicians, general surgeons, emergency medicine specialists; nurses, including registered nurses and nurse practitioners; medical trainees, including medical students, residents, and fellows; and all other health care providers.
TARGET POPULATION: Adult women (18 years and older) presenting with suspected or confirmed endometrial hyperplasia.
OPTIONS: The discussion relates to the medical therapy as well as surgical treatment options for women with and without atypical endometrial hyperplasia.
