Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your mother's situation and problem.
Endometrial thickness of 1.9 cm can be seen in malignancy.
But chances of malignancy are less because she is not having an mass lesion or enlarged inguinal lymphnodes.
So possibility of post menopausal thickness is more.
But better to rule out cancer and hence dilatation and curetteg (D&C) is advised in her case.
If D&C is negative for malignancy than no need to worry for cancer. Also get done hormone levels to rule out hormonal imbalance as this is the common cause for endometrial thickening.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
