title: [Histological diagnosis of gynecologic recurrences in the minor pelvis. Puncture using the tru-cut biopsy needle].
abstract: In about 60 cases demonstrating a tentative diagnosis of a palpable recidivation (cancer of the cervix), a puncture of the parametrium and of the pelvic wall was carried out with the biopsy needle "Tru-Cut". The modalities of procedure are described. Verification of cancer suspicion was achieved to a rate of 50 per cent, this percentage having increased for about 20% when the puncture was repeated. Ten per cent of the carcinomas could not be listed, and in 20% of the cases a recidivation could be excluded. There were no complications.
