[The effectiveness and ultilization of screening cytology for cervical cancer in the Federal Republic of Germany (author's transl)]. 1981

F W Schwartz

The mortality from invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix in the Federal Republic of Germany decreased from 1970 to 1977 in the age group 35 to age 59, between 19% and 28% in an age standarized study. A correlation with the introduction of the universal screening cytology in 1971 is highly probable. The utilization of the screening program in the age group of 30 to 60 years is 40--50% of the eligible women. At 2 year intervals the utilization is 55%. The utilization be senior citizens is only 25%. The number of women screened in the most important age groups is higher than usually quoted in the German literature.
