Dysgerminomas (seminomas) in genetic males with female phenotype. One case of gonadal dysgenesis and gonadoblastoma and one of testicular feminization.

Gonadal tumors in patients with somatosexual ambiguity are rare but of considerable clinical and pathological interest. Two patients with dysgerminomas and abnormal sexual differentiation were recently treated at the Department of Gynecologic Oncology. One (Case 1) was an 18-year old girl and the other (Case 2) an unmarried woman of 58 years. In spite of their female phenotype both showed a male genotype, 46, XY. In Case 1 the dysgerminoma (or rather seminoma) originated in a gonadoblastoma in one of two dysgenetic testes but in Case 2 in one of two "feminizing testes". The clinico-pathological features of both cases will be reported and commented and the relation between the germ cell tumors, gonadal dysgenesis and the Y-chromosome will be discussed.

Efficacy of primary radiation in carcinoma of the endometrium. Five-year follow up of unselected material from a specific region in the north of Sweden.

A case material from the northern part of Sweden comprising all known cases of carcinoma of the endometrium during the years 1963-1969 is presented. A clinical experiment has been carried out in which 320 patients with carcinoma of the endometrium have been uniformly treated. The patients have been given primary radiation treatment, mostly with radium packing according to a modified Heyman method. About two thirds of the patients have had a prophylactic operation with total removal of the uterus and the adnexa about six weeks after the radiation treatment. Patients with contraindications to surgery have had a curettage three months after radiation treatment. The primary cure rate and the complications have been reported in a previous paper. The five-year survival rate in stage I in cases treated with radiation and surgery was 92%. The survival rate corrected for intercurrent death was 93%. The survival rate in cases treated with radiation only was 71%. The survival rate corrected for intercurrent death was 88%. The total survival rate in stage I was 85% and the survival rate corrected for intercurrent death in Stage 2 was 92%. The total survival rate in the whole case material including all stages was 75.3% and the survival rate corrected for intercurrent death in the total material was 82.8%.

Mass screening in Sweden for cancer of the uterine cervix. Results and epidemiologic effect.

The mass screening program in Sweden for cancer of the uterine cervix, which was started in 1964, is now almost nation-wide. Approximately a quarter of a million women are screened every year. The attendance varies between 55 and 90%. Approximately two per cent of the screened female population is invited to further examination or treatment. The yield through the mass screening program varies between 3.5 and 10 positive cases per 1000 examined women. The incidence of cancer of cervix is decreasing. This is most evident in those counties, which have been carrying out the screening program for about ten years. The stage distribution in cancer of the cervix has not been changed by the screening program. Mortality in cancer of the cervix is unchanged. There has been an enormous increase in the number of diagnosis of cancer in situ of the cervix, which is a difficult practical problem.
