[Early diagnosis of endometrial cancer].

The increasing morbidity rate of endometrial carcinoma has prompted the development of methods of examination suitable for the detection of asymptomatic carcinoma of the endometrium. Commercially available instruments for collection of specimens from the uterine cavity employ washing, aspiration or curettage techniques. Under clinical testing conditions, these instruments have been shown to have a high cytomorphological accuracy, namely 80%.

Follicle growth in the ovary of the rabbit after ovulation-inducing application of human chorionic gonadotropin.

The growth of tertiary follicles, i.e., the proliferation of cells in the stratum granulosum and in the capillary network of the theca interna, after injection of ovulation-inducing human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), was investigated in the rabbit by means of autoradiographic and morphometric methods.
