title: Early diagnosis of maxillary carcinoma.
abstract: Problems of early diagnosis of maxillary carcinoma are discussed and symptomatology of early and relatively early cases is fully presented. In cases which might be suspected of being malignant thoughtful attention to all details of examination and careful evaluation of seemingly insignificant symptoms and signs are of greatest importance. All methods of early detection of antral cancer are evaluated. The most valuable from among them are: tomography, including panoramic tomography, and sinoscopy. Measures which should be taken to shorten the interval between symptoms onset and the definite diagnosis of maxillary carcinoma are specified.
