The objective of this multi-centre, prospective study, is to evaluate the performance of a urine MCM5 ELISA test (ADXGYNAE) in the detection of endometrial cancer in patients with postmenopausal bleeding. Patients attending a gynaecology clinic for investigation of postmenopausal bleeding will be recruited and asked to provide a urine sample to be tested. The results of the MCM5 test will be recorded and compared to the patient's routine investigations to determine the clinical utility of the test as an aid in the diagnosis of endometrial cancer.

ADXGYNAE is a non-invasive ELISA utilising a combination of two monoclonal antibodies for the detection of MCM5 in urine sediment. It is intended to aid in the detection of endometrial cancer in women with postmenopausal bleeding who are suspected of having endometrial cancer. Participants will be asked to provide a urine specimen, which will be centrifuged before the sediment is lysed. The lysed sample will then be tested with the MCM5 ELISA.

RECRUITINGSensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value (NPV) of ADXGYNAE will be calculated to establish the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of endometrial cancer.
The MCM5 test result will be compared with data obtained from patient's standard of care clinical investigations, including results from transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and endometrial biopsy or hysteroscopy. A definitive diagnosis of endometrial cancer will be confirmed by the presence of histologically proven endometrial cancer on resection/biopsy. Patients who do not have an endometrial biopsy will be followed up at 6 months to identify if further investigations were carried out.
