[Morphological methods in the diagnosis of early cancer of the cervix uteri].

The authors have examined the registration cards of 673 patients, the cytological smears of which from the cervical canal, taken at mass prophylactic examination, showed changes of the IV-V th grade, while cytological diagnosis was not supported histologically. The conducted investigations seem to allow a suggestion to be made that one should not deny the cytological diagnosis of "cancer" or "suspicion to cancer" on the basis of a single negative pathohistological conclusion, since the percentage of cancer detection in repeat histological assays is high enough - 84.5%.
