ABSTRACT
Four hundred cases with carcinoma of the uterine cervix were evaluated by cystoscopy regarding involvement of urinary bladder. In stages I and II there was not a single case of bladder involvement; in stage III, 3 out of 39 cases and in stage IV, 2 out of 10 patients were found to have bladder involvement. Thus cystoscopy resulted in elevating the clinical stage in 3 of these patients but was unchanged in 2 cases. These findings indicate that cystoscopy is mandatory only for clinical stages III and IV.
