title: [Hormonal cytology used in the therapy of breast cancer (author's transl)].
abstract: More than 150 women have been under a long-time control provided by the Radium therapy Dpt. and by the Cytological Center. In all above mentioned cases the primary diagnosis was the breast cancer and in the majority the patients obtained radical surgery. The results of Co 60 castration and of hormonal therapy were evaluated by means of the hormonal cytology. In each case the cytological smears were taken several times during the therapy and after end of the therapy. The cytologist was not influenced by knowledge of the therapy. The optimal therapy was determined by the cytological results. The first results of selected method, which represents the effectivity of a hormonal-cytologically chosen therapy, were promising.
