In 1925, in this Journal, Hans Hinselmannn gave the reslults of his experience with the method of colposcopy he devised for the early recognition of cancer of the uterine cervix. In 50 years it has proved to be an indispensable procedure in experienced hands, by which the prestages and early stages of the most frequent genital cancer in women, carcinoma of the cervix, can be detected while still of microscopic dimensions (microcarcinoma). Papanicolaou's vaginal cytology used in combination with colposcopy increases diagnostic accuracy to more than 95%. Cytology, as a preliminary orienting laboratory procedure, and colposcopy as a clinical investigation method togethe - if the two individual methods are used in their proper places - offer optimal diagnostic prospects. The opportunities of mastering colposcopy and its use in the cancer prophylaxis program are pointed out.
1925年，汉斯·欣塞尔曼在本杂志上发表了他使用自己设计的阴道镜检查方法早期识别子宫颈癌的经验结果。50年来，在经验丰富的医生手中，它已被证明是一种不可或缺的程序，通过该程序，可以在女性最常见的生殖器癌症——子宫颈癌仍处于微观尺寸（微癌）时检测到其癌前阶段和早期阶段。将帕帕尼科拉乌阴道细胞学与阴道镜检查结合使用可将诊断准确率提高到95%以上。细胞学作为初步的定向实验室程序，阴道镜检查作为临床检查方法——如果这两种单独的方法在适当的位置使用——可提供最佳的诊断前景。文中指出了掌握阴道镜检查及其在癌症预防计划中的应用机会。
