Just had a patient referred to me for an hysteroscopy + D&C. 70 YO, breast cancer in 84: lumpectomy + tamoxifen; recurrence then mastectomy. Had yet two D&C and the onco says he doesn't want to stop the tamoxifen. Clinical exam: uterus like a 3 months pregnancy. I gonna do a TAH ! Surveillance must stop some day

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
