title: [Gynecologic cancers: preventive examinations and their limits. An analysis of the current staging and percentage distribution based on 2,612 cancers of the 1 January 1983 to 25 November 1985 cumulative statistics of the Society of Swiss Gynecologic Clinics].
abstract: An overview of the stages and age distributions is given for 2612 invasive genital and 1237 breast cancer cases, called from the data bank, compiled by the Swiss working group of the departments of gynaecology and obstetrics and consisting of 172,399 cases (1983-1985). The general over-representation of advanced and more therapy-resistant cancer stages (exception: corpus cancer) and their high incidence in advanced menopausal age, still characterise the present, all but satisfactory condition. Progress in the treatment of genital and breast cancers can be achieved only through improved early diagnosis with preventive examinations, without a limitation placed on age.
