I wanted to pass some ultrasound pictures along to Dr. Goldstein because I am so unbelievably grateful for the care he gave me. I really feel that if it weren’t for his treatment and care, I might not be as fortunate to be having a baby soon, another Dr might have taken my ovary but he worked so hard to preserve that and my fertility. I am 32 weeks and 2 days along now, due December 5th with a baby boy who is already 5 pounds and long! We’re both healthy and great! I will follow up with more pictures, but I wanted to share these, because I think about how lucky I am every day, and I owe it to Dr Goldstein. Sincerely, RL

Clinical Research and Publications

Dr Steven R. Goldstein’s clinical research has had a significant influence on the way gynecology is practiced.

In 1991, he was the first to suggest that a thin, distinct endometrial echo on transvaginal ultrasound in postmenopausal bleeding did not indicate the need for a biopsy. This was finally adopted as the standard of care by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) in 2009.

In 1989, he was the first to suggest that simple cysts of postmenopausal ovaries were benign and did not require surgical intervention. In 2009 that, too, became the standard of care.

In 1994, he first described endometrial fluid collections on vaginal sonograms as a naturally occurring, de facto sonohysterogram and determined that when tissue surrounding the fluid is thin, endometrial disease can be excluded.

In 1994, he first described endometrial fluid collections on vaginal sonograms as a naturally occurring, de facto sonohysterogram and determined that when tissue surrounding the fluid is thin, endometrial disease can be excluded.

Also in 1994, he was the first to describe the glandular cystic atrophy causing an unusual ultrasound appearance in women receiving tamoxifen, and has since been involved in the study of—and has published research on—practically every selective estrogen-receptor modulator, including raloxifene, lasofoxifene, levormeloxifene, arzoxifene, and ospemifene.

Dr. Goldstein was the first, in 2004, to warn against unnecessary biopsy in nonbleeding postmenopausal patients with an incidental finding of thick endometrial lining on vaginal sonogram, which was affirmed by ACOG in its Practice Bulletin in 2009, and reaffirmed in 2015.

Since 1995, Dr. Goldstein has argued against blind endometrial biopsies. He also championed saline infusion sonohysterogram—which was finally endorsed by ACOG in its Practice Bulletin in 2012.
