摘要
We compared the length of time between the onset of vaginal bleeding and (1) initial visit to a physician and (2) hysterectomy in patients with endometrial carcinoma (mild vs advanced disease). There was no difference in these times. We conclude that patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma do not delay seeking medical attention when compared with patients with mild disease.
