Overview

All patients will be provided with a Preprogen Pad to be worn for 4-6 hours to collect cells shed by the endometrium. After the kit is returned to the Preprogen laboratory, a brief survey will be completed. Analysis will be conducted to determine if the PadKit™ can collect a sample of endometrial cells sufficient to differentiate between normal and atypical hyperplasia/malignant cells in blinded samples provided to the laboratory for analysis.
