[Problems of current diagnosis of neoplasms in women]. / Probleme der heutigen Krebsfrüherkennung bei der Frau.

The value of early cancer detection in women is limited by the screening methods and their minor reliability in "mass-screening". The effect of detection programs is difficult to demonstrate. The interest in cancer detection is low, especially in elderly high risk patients. A more suitable application of screening tests with widespread indication of further methods together with exact demonstration could be the basis for better results in early cancer detection programs in women.
