[Epidemiology of cervical carcinoma and screening activities in GDR (author's transl)].
In the GDR, cervical carcinoma is considered as one of the most important malignant neoplasias for its high incidence and age distribution. It offers, however, optimum prerequisites for effective cytological mass screening for primary and secondary prevention. Reference is made to typical screening effects in an attempt to analyse activities for early diagnosis which are highly differentiated by regions within the GDR. Systematic expansion of capacities for cytological examination is essential to the control of cervical carcinoma. Medical attention can be further improved by wider use of specialised prebioptic diagnosis in connection with all suspicious and positive screening findings.
