[Frequency of carcinoma in a medium-sized country-hospital (author's transl)].

The author tried to give a broad survey of the cases of carcinoma in a medium-sized hospital during a certain period. The research included the following criteria: frequency, distribution regarding sex and age, localisation of carcinoma, histology, therapeutical methods, kind of metastasia and survival time. The 5 most frequent cases of carcinoma were more closely investigated in detail. The importance of a more intensified early diagnosis of carcinoma for keeping the rate of inoperable cases low is stressed.
