title: [Clinico-cytological characteristics of primary invasive cervical cancer].
abstract: Based on the material of the complex examination of 167 cervical cancer patients in stage Ia, the clinico-cytological features were studied comparatively. Extensive colposcopy and cytological assays of surface curetting specimens from the cervical canal and cervix mucosa were employed. In cervical cancer, stage Ia, cytological assay in 71.4% of cases is a reliable criterion in diagnosing the malignancy. In 51.7% of patients cytograms are similar to those of intraepithelial cancer, in 40.7%--smears correspond to the classical description of squamous cell cancer. The stromal reaction should be regarded as an indicator of a limited malignancy and as a manifestation of protective forces of the organism.
