Abstract
RESOURCES are not always available for unlimited cytologic examinations of women in a given population once a year for carcinoma of the cervix. It is extremely important, therefore, to identify the high-risk patient so that a logical priority can be allotted for population screening. It is important to know the relative risk of the disease according not only to age but also to a multitude of factors that may influence the risk. It is difficult, if not impossible, to get accurate data on the sexual activity of a large group of women. It is possible, however, to get accurate data . . .This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
