Abstract In our hospital, quantitiative cell and tissue analysis is routinely applied in endometrial (pre)malignancies. Reasons for this are higher accuracy, reproducibility and objectivity when compared to subjective assessment of type and grade, the possibility of detecting changes and differences, and better compatibility with clinical requests (two‐class instead of three‐or four‐class system). Furthermore, prognostication is at least as good or better than with the usual subjective methods. Clinical prospective intervention trials are currently being set up.
