Early Detection of Pelvic Neoplasms

Abstract

The individual physician can salvage more cancer patients through early diagnosis than expert teams can salvage in large treatment centers.

Examination of the female pelvis yields data more useful in early detection of cancer than does the clinical inspection of any other anatomic area. This is due not only to accessibility of structures involved but also to simple diagnostic technics.

Large-scale screening programs of vaginal cytologic examinations are recommended.
