[Role of endoscopic studies and cytogenetic indices in diagnosis of preclinical variants of cervix neoplasms].

The results of colpocervicoscopic examination of more than 15,000 females suggested cervical carcinoma in 345 cases, which was confirmed histologically in 319 patients. A detailed morphological and cytogenetic investigation carried out in 36 patients with preclinical form of TIaNXMO invasive carcinoma of cervix uteri established a relationship of mitotic activity, pathological mitosis count and fraction of cells with X-chromatin, on the one hand, and the depth of tumor invasion, on the other. The stages of complex examination of patients with pathology of cervix uteri are discussed.
