[The prognostic significance of cytological data in the radiation therapy of cervix cancer].

Cytological investigation sometimes makes it possible to establish tumor progression or recurrence even before the appearance of the first clinical symptoms. An increase in the expression of radiation changes with further absence of tumor elements during a follow-up should be regarded as a prognostically favorable factor of the effectiveness of radiation therapy.

[Proliferative activity of laryngeal cancer and possible morphologic prognostic factors].

Altogether 70 patients with histologically verified laryngeal cancer were studied. An analysis of the data obtained showed that tumor proliferative activity expressed by a labeling index (LI) correlated, to a certain extent, with various structural and functional properties of a tumor, e. g.
