[The necessity of preventive gynecological studies in the aged]

According to epidemiological data the majority of the old women suffers from mammary cancer or gynecological malignoma. In cervical uterine cancers this ratio reaches more than 30% and in uterine body, ovarial and breast cancers more than 60%. Thus, it is significantly clear, that gynecological preventive medical examinations are so important. For cervical cancer cytology and for breast cancer mammography and thermography are valuable and satisfactory methods. Because of the lack of a practicable preventive examination method for corpus cancer and ovarial carcinoma it is evident, that regular clinical investigations are of vital importance in this field. Vulva and vaginal cancers are to be mentioned as real old women's neoplastic disease, because it starts mostly between 7th and 9th decade of life.
