[Parametrial aspiration cytology].
Cytologic findings of fine needle aspiration from the parametrial region are compared with the clinical course of 54 patients with and without recurrence after therapy of gynecologic cancer. Parametrial aspiration cytolovy is as reliable as histology done by van Silverman biopsy. The frequency of complications and insufficient material is low. Anesthesia is not necessary. The procedure is simple. Aspiration cytology seems to be a progress in detecting recurrence of cancer in the parametrial soft tissue region.
