title: [Cytodiagnosis of the stomach: a comparative survey of cytological and histological investigations (author's transl)].
abstract: The consideration was the center of our comparative survey: early diagnosis of gastric cancer by combination of gastroscopy, gastrobiopsy and gastrocytology. We are filled with dismay that this simple method is not yet used in every case of wellfounded suspicion of gastric cancer. In our own material cytological findings of cancer could be proved in 88% and verified histologically. 2% of cytological diagnosis were false negative because the brush samples were not taken from the right location by the gastroscopists. Simultaneously with the evaluation of the dignity, a diagnosis of the different forms of gastritis was made. A vast conformity with pathohistological results could be achieved. In stenosing processes of the stomach and also in diagnosis of lesions in the cardia, the use of a cell brush would be of great advantage toward gastrobiopsy.
