“…In the case of uterine cervical cancer, we know that many years might elapse between the time that this organ yields cells diagnosable by the Papanicolaou smear technique and the time tlie lesion is clinically discernible. 3 Need for cnncer scyeening: Although many physicians still maintain a gloomy and discouraged attitude about cancer control, we feel that optimism (not complacency) can be entertained provided we adhere to an aggressive program emphasizing early cancer detection. We know that the majority of people fail to undergo periodic cancer screening.…”

“…The utility of mobile cancer screening units has already been demonstrated in both Eng-No. 3 MOBILE CANCER SCREENING CLINIC Lynch et al 775 land and Japan where a number of mobile cancer screening units are effectively fulfilling a role in screening for cancer of single anatomic sites (uterine cervix or gastric carcinoma but not both in any single unit). Such units can conveniently move on to a new territory when one area has been thoroughly screened.…”

More than 1,100 patients have been evaluated in an unique multiphasic mobile cancer screening unit. Screening of target organs includes rectum, colon (proctosigmoidoscopy), prostate, pelvic area, skin, lymphatics, oral cavity, and breast, including mammography and instructions on self‐palpation. In addition, cancer education is disseminated emphasizing such problems as protection against the sun's rays and admonishment against cigarette smoking. Histologically confirmed cancers detected include those of colon, breast, prostate, and lung. Many cancers of the skin have been diagnosed at an early stage. A vigorous effort at follow‐up is in progress but it is incomplete due, in part, to an element of physician delay. Screening of multiple sites seems preferable to focusing upon single sites. Mobile cancer screening is worth trying. This approach could undoubtedly succeed in improving cancer control if supported by the medical community.

“…In Wilcox' (1956) series of 9,815 cases, 403 positive and suspicious smears were found ; and from these 233 cases of uterine cancer were confirmed ; seventeen had no symptoms or signs and could not be found without cytology. According to Carter (1956), cervical cancer of Stage 0 in obstetric patients was 0.57 per cent and in gynaecological patients the incidence was 0.58 per cent.…”

“…There is increasing evidence that epithelial atypias, like basal cell hyperplasia and epithelial dysplasia, precede pre-invasive carcinomas.14!17 and, after a length of time, may progress into invasive carcinoma. 3,8,18,23 The length of time a pre-invasive lesion exists as such is uncertain. Furthermore, it is not clear at this stage as to which of these would progress, persist or regress if left untreated.…”

There is no invasive cancer which at one stage was not cancer‐in‐situ. The cervical cancer if detected at its pre‐invasive stage is amenable to treatment with 100% survival rate. The knowledge that cancer is preventable if detected in its precancerous stage or is curable if detected in its early stage strongly supports the need for routine cytological examination of all young females from time to time for detection of cervical neoplastic lesion in its early stage and a follow‐up of all the dysplastic lesions of cervix. Present study comprises of an examination of vaginal smears of 39,587 women aged 14 to 80 years. Malignancy of female genital tract was observed in 693 cases. On cytological and histological examination the cancer of the cervix was diagnosed in 64 clinically unsuspected cases giving a pick up rate of 1.62/1000. In each of these cases the initial clinical impression of the cervix was other than carcinoma, the first indication of malignancy being the result of cytological examination. Cervical dysplasia was detected in 927 cases. A follow‐up study of progression or regression of dysplastic changes was done.
