[Value of needle biopsy in the diagnosis of gynecologic carcinoma recurrence].
There are many difficulties in the diagnosis of recurrent carcinoma in the lesser pelvis. A second course of radiation carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Therefore histological proof of recurrence must be obtained prior to subjecting a patient to radiotherapy. An attempt has been made to demonstrate malignant recurrence on the pelvic side wall by means of needle biopsy. The results of 181 needle biopsies are reviewed and the sources of error in this method are discussed.
[Organization of the early diagnosis of the carcinoma corporis uteri].
The problems in early diagnosis of endometrial cancers are not sufficiently solved. Only atypical bleeding with subsequent curettage will result in success. At this time progredient carcinomas are frequent and the chance of recovery is small. Therefore a screening program of early diagnosis by small biopsy is developed and clinically proved.
