Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Increase in endometrial thickness does not always indicate presence of cancer. Also, ultrasound scan is not an accurate investigation meant for diagnosing cancer.
You need to get an endometrial biopsy done and subject the biopsy material for histopathological examination. Biopsy report would certainly indicate weather there is endometrial cancer or not.
Kindly consult Gynaecologist in this regard for proper advise and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
