[Complex diagnostic method of early forms of cancer of the uterine cervix]

A complex of diagnostic procedures including extended colposcopy, aiming biopsy, cytological examination and endocervical curettage was carried out in 110 patients for differential diagnosis between precancerous diseases and early forms of carcinoma of the uterine cervix. Application of the complex diagnostic method may be recommended for identification of early stages of malignancy in cervix uteri. Due to the findings obtained, it becomes possible to give a more accurate definition of pathologic process necessary for determination of therapy to be carried out in patients with cervical carcinoma in situ which has been detected without colposcopy. Cytological method appeared to provide much information on tissue specimens.
