[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.

[Studies on the epidemiology of malignant tumors, systemic diseases and leukemia in children (author's transl)].

The analysis of statistical data on the incidence of leukemia in children in the German Democratic Republic between 1968 and 1973 gives no evidence for increasing risk of disease. Incidence in the G.D.R. is about the same as reported in literature. It seems that in the etiology and natural history of malignant tumors and hemoblastosis in children, constitutional and genetic as well as environmental factors are involved. They may work single or combined. Probably, malignant tumors or malignant systemic disease arise if the immune system fails to destroy endogenous or transplanted tumor cells.

[Frequency, therapy and survival time of reticulum cellsarcoma in the German Democratic Republic. An epidemiological study of 7467 cases from 1960 to 1973 (author's transl)].

7467 Reticulum cell sarcomas have been recorded in the register of patients suffering form carcinoma (1960 to 1973). This report deals with the distribution of age, sex, size and frequency during the different years and in different districts. Moreover, problems of confirming the diagnoses and of histological findings are considered. The chances of survival of patients suffering from reticulum cell sarcoma (about 16,0% survive the five-year limit, 10,3% survive the ten-year-limit) are examined for the therapy, age and size of the tumour also being taken into account.

[Clinico-pathological comparative studies in plasmacytoma].

A report is given on frequency investigations in the plasmocytoma in a dissection material of 36,985 cases of the years 1951 to 1971. 107 observations of multiple, nearly exclusively osseous plasmocytomas are evaluated concerning frequency of age and sex, affection of the skeleton as well as correlations between the degree of the histological maturity of the tumour cells and the produced para-proteins as well as the existence of the Bence-Jones-protein. The findings were compared with those of the literature.
