Abstract
The mortality from invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix in the Federal Republic of Germany decreased from 1970-1977 in the age group 35-59, between 19% and 28% in an age standardized 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 30-60 yr is 40-50% of the eligible women. At 2 yr intervals the utilization is 55%. The utilization by 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.
