What Is The Prognosis When The Endometrial Lining Is Thick While On Tamoxifen For More Than 3 Years?
Post menopausal. Have been on tamoxifen for 3 .5 years. Ultrasound showed lining is 20 mm thick. Had two biopsies, both were inadequate due to scant tissue. No bleeding or spotting. What should my next step be? D & C ? Why were my biopsies inadequate to evaluate since the lining was 2cm?

Hello,
Inadequate biopsies mean inadequate sampling. Better go for a colposcopic guided biopsy. They will take biopsy under Visuals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
