Diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) is made by biopsy sampling with pathological analysis, but it is extremely important to make an accurate diagnosis in order to plan the specific treatment. We hypothesized that human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in endometrial tissue and in serum could be beneficial for a more precise diagnosis.
