We prophylactically examined female patients on the occasion of clinical treatment by other medical branches. Our gynaecological examinations were performed corresponding to a recommendation of the common decision of the SUP Central Committee, the GDR government and the TUF Central Board of Sept. 25th, 1973. From April 1th, 1974 to April 1th., 1975 2960 patients from 26 other clinics were screened. The frequency of histologically confirmed diseases of tumors due to registration (56 cases = 18,9(0/00) was higher than supposed compared with similiar screening programs. Under the cases were 5 carcinomas in situ, 3 microcarcinomas and 3 cervical carcinomas of stage Ib and higher. The share of discovery was 1,7 (0/00) for carcinomas in situ and 2 (0/00) for invasive cervical carcinomas. 28,6(0/00) of all women had a benign disease due to treatment or control. These examinations support, screening programs of a whole territory. The requisite expense is less than for similar programs on the outside of clinics.
