title: [Usefulness of early detection of uterine collum carcinoma].
abstract: Systematic screening of preinvasive and invasive lesions of uterine cervix by exfoliative cytology is justified by present morphologic and physiologic knowledge of the cervical epithelium. This technically easy screening procedure should be performed by the family doctor. If the result is positive, the case should be turned over to the gynecologist. Systematic repeated screening permits nearly complete eradication of invasive cervical carcinoma.
