A haematuria diagnostic service.

In a haematuria diagnostic service, covering experience with 95 patients, 12 new cases of cancer of the bladder, one of cancer of the kidney, and one of cancer of the penis were identified--all at an early stage. Patients presenting with haematuria were investigated rapidly without disruption of the routine work of the urological unit. Patients who identified the symptoms and sought advice early were given a definite diagnosis quickly, and treatment for any malignant disease was started early. The delay that undoubtedly endangers patients' lives has been considerably reduced by this service.

Survey of tissue diagnostic services in United States dental schools, 1953-1975.

A survey of tissue diagnostic services in United States dental schools was conducted, covering the services' activities during 1975. This survey was compared to similar surveys made in 1953, 1958, and 1969. Most significantly, many more biopsies are being processed, with a great increase in the number of malignant specimens. As could be expected, higher fees are being charged by the schools for processing specimens.
