[Primary vaginal carcinoma - analysis of 100 cases (author's transl)]

The importance of prevention to vaginal carcinoma was underlined by results obtained from a retrospective analysis of oncological patients who had been hospitalised at the First Gynaecological Hospital of Prague, between 1946 and 1970. While five-year healing of 41 per cent compared well to reports published elsewhere, the authors feel that the prognosis of this rare tumour might be further improved by earlier detection and treatment.
