Hi Dr. Grief, My name is Tressa and i am 76 yrs oid and in good health. I was just informed that after a DNC the pathology report came back with uncertain malignant potential and I have an appointment to see the doctor to discuss the results a week from now but would like more information before that appointment.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Uncertain for malignant potential means pathologist is not 100% sure of malignant cells in specimen. There are certain cells in your specimen which are not clear-cut of malignancy but at the same time they are not normal also. And your age is also 76, so possibility of malignancy is always there. So your report is not of confirm malignancy, you may need repeat DNC and some blood investigation like tumor markers. So consult your gynecologist and discuss these things.
