PGR and neoplasm: Significant increases in VEGFA and PR mRNA expression were observed in the post-hysterectomy FT samples compared to time-matched pipelle biopsies in benign endometrium (5.7 (0.75–13.4) n = 8 vs 0.59 (0.21–2.01) n = 5, P = 0.011, and 42.85 (7.19–122.7) n = 8, vs 3.34 (0.45–7.54) n = 5, P = 0.006, respectively; Fig. 4).
