For the early detection of the endometrial adenocarcinoma the Gravlee-Jet-wash-technique was used in 600 cases. The procedure is simple and requires only 2 to 3 minutes to the gynecologist. An anesthesia is not necessary. In women with stenosed os externum and in anxious patients we use an analgesia of the paracervix (PCB). The technique allows a cytologic and/or cytohistologic investigation. In 600 examined cases we found 37 endometrial adenocarcinomas. We obtained a 100 per cent accuracy in the detection of the 37 malignant lesions. Our experience up to now with the Jet-wash-technique should stimulate its wider use also for outpatients with a high risk for the endometrial adenocarcinoma.
