[Effectiveness of preventive gynecological examination in hospitalized patients].
Three per cent of all non-gynaecological therapeutic cases (1,554 women) were examined on the premises of Medical Academy of Dresden, Gynaecological Outpatient Department, in the course of four years. Malignant or in situ processes were detected from 2.3 per cent of these probands. The figure was as low as 0.9 per cent of 41 per cent of the above probands who had come for prophylactic check only. This appears to underline the importance of early diagnosis of cervical carcinoma and other processes by persistent use of search techniques, such as colposcopy and cytology, and the need for continuous increase in the number of examinations.
