[Problems on early detection of the endometrial adenocarcinoma with a critical examination of jet-wash and curity-technique (author's transl)].

The difficulties to find an appropriate screening-technique for the recognition of endometrial adenocarcinoma are described. Some methods of the last ten years are mentioned, advantages and disadvantages are shortly debated. Our clinical study contains 100 patients, who were examined by the jet-wash or curity-method with following abrasion. Practicability, security and the agreement of both techniques with histological results are compared. The most serious objection against jet-wash is the abdominal spreading of cells along the tubes. Curity-screenings are yet carried on with good results.
