Uterine cancer is one of the most important diseases in gynecology. The most important problem concerning it is its early diagnosis. The author examined the diagnostic value of the vaginal smear test founded by Papanicolaou. At first Papanicolaou's technique and Ayre's surface biospy method were studied with the examination of vaginal secretion, using the cell block technique and the histopathological examination of superficial layer of endometrial mucosa and vagina. In addition to Papanicolaou's stain method, Feulgen and iluminol stain were also used in these examinations. The results obtained are as follows: 1) Of 34 cases of early uterine cancer, which had previously been diagnosed clinically, the cytological diagnosis was positive in 32 cases, or 94.1%. 2) Of 99 cases, in which a clinical diagnosis had not been made, the cytological diagnosis was proved to be correct in 89 cases, or 89.9%. The results show that this method is excellent for cancer diagnosis, and repeated examinations will certainly increase the reliability of this method.
