title: [Cytodiagnosis of endometrial cancer].
abstract: Uterine aspiration specimens from 172 females were examined cytologically (cancer in 89, non-cancer process -- in 71, in 12 cases aspiration specimens were obtained in a reproductive period in proliferative and secretory phases of the menstrual cycle). It was shown that in a group of histologically verified observations in 45.8% a gynecologist failed to recognize the true endometrial affection. Some cytological criteria elaborated are suggested (dominant, adjuvant and temporary), which combination helped to precisely diagnose cancer cytologically in 93.2%, while various forms of hyperplasia -- in 89.9%.
