[Cytomorphological criteria of atypical hyperplasia and cancer of the endometrium based on data from a multivariate statistical analysis].

Multifactorial statistical analysis was used to identify differential diagnostic cytological features of glandular hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia and well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. Twelve cytological features were identified for calculating linear discriminant function. The effectiveness of the diagnostic algorithm depends upon the diagnostic value of the sample and proficiency of the cytologist.

[Organization of ambulatory care of cancer patients].

The paper reveals shortcomings of medical care for cancer outpatients. Basing on cancer incidence and analysis of the activities of outpatient oncological units, measures are brought forward to advance prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic service for cancer outpatients.

[Results of combined treatment of cancer of the gastric antrum and gastric body].

The paper discusses the results of a cooperative study concerned with the immediate and end results of treatment of stage III cancer of the antral part and body of the stomach in patients randomly assigned to receive surgery either alone (142 cases) or in combination with preoperative Co 60 gamma teletherapy (139). Preoperative radiotherapy was not followed by increase in postoperative complication rate as compared to surgery alone. Combined treatment appeared to assure higher three- and five-year survival.

[Organizational principles of the outpatient examination of patients suspected of malignant tumors].

Out-patient diagnosis of cancer is carried out in three stages which involve activities of different physicians. Cancer is first suspected by a general practitioner. Prophylactic measures other than examination by specialists and chest photo-roentgenography proved insufficient, and the authors give reasons for this.

[Differential diagnostic cytologic signs of atypical hyperplasia and cancer of the endometrium].

Computerized multifactorial analysis of 56 cytologic features was performed in 135 cases suffering glandular and atypical hyperplasia and well-differentiated endometrial carcinoma (45 patients in each group). The established regularities enabled students to differentiate between hyperplasia and cancer in 95% of cases in classes and in 73-83% at examination.

[Principles of specialized oncogynecologic services].

It is pointed out that distinctive features of malignant neoplasms of the female genital system determine peculiarity of organization of medical care for patients with cancer of uterus, ovary and external genital organs. Violation of the basic principle, i.e.

[The role of cytological studies in evaluating the severity of dysplasia during prophylactic gynecological examinations (cooperative study)].

Cytologic examination of scrapings from the uterine cervix was carried out in 498 patients in whom moderate or severe dysplasia of the squamous epithelium or suspicion for cancer were established in the course of gynecologic screening. The said pathology was diagnosed in 0.63% of screeneses.

[Methods of evaluating the effectiveness of treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms].

The advantages offered by application of combined and complex treatment make the case for perfecting procedures of optimal choice, combination and adequate evaluation of the efficacy of methods of malignant tumor treatment. The report deals with a retrospective analysis of procedures of evaluation of cancer patients treatment. Treatment modalities, concurrent monitoring and alternative study group selection are discussed.
