Brief Answer:
Endometrial biopsy is needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
To rule out an endometrial cancer, endometrial biopsy is the surest test. A TVS scan can only detect the thickness of the endometrium but not the nature of the endometrium. Do get an endometrial biopsy to rule out cancer.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
