[Early diagnosis of relapses of cervical and endometrial carcinomas (author's transl)]

A systematic screening-programme for tumor recurrence diagnosis was carried out in 773 patients with cervical or endometrial carcinomas. In comparison with two other patient groups in this patients an earlier diagnosis of tumor recurrences was possible and more relapses were detected in the subclinically symptomless phase. Considering the primary therapy a practicable scheme for diagnosis is proposed.
