Abstract
The article describes the stages of early detection of uterine body cancer in patients with morbid obesity. It has been proven that genetic testing for oncogenic mutations of endocervical canal scrapings with a negative cytological conclusion regarding cervical cancer is effective for subsequent screening of uterine body cancer. In morbid obesity, the diagnostic sensitivity of mutation screening for uterine body cancer increases when examining endocervical canal scrapings. When oncogenic mutations are detected in samples from the endocervical canal, the next step is recommended to conduct a cytological examination of endometrial biopsies with sampling using brush technology.
