Abstract
The Toledo Community Program for the detection of uterine cancer is described and an analysis is presented of the results, 1947–1963. The results indicate the success of a self-supporting community program conducted by practicing physicians from their own offices. The Program has encompassed more than two thirds of the women, 30 or more years old in Lucas County, Ohio. It has resulted in a large decrease in invasive cancer of the uterus. Survival rates following diagnosis of invasive cancer of the uterus are superior to those usually seen.

Acceptance of survival as a criterion for measuring the effectiveness of cancer therapy is attested to by the very large number of papers published every year reporting on the survival experience of cancer patients.

It is concluded that 10 to 15% of carcinomas of the cervix become invasive early in their development, which would exceed the needs for invasive cervical cancer and some would need to terminate by regression.

Preliminary results in a blind trial indicate that the diagnostic accuracy is on a par with existing techniques, but the chief value of the irrigation smear is probably not as a substitute for existing methods, but rather as an efficient tool for reaching the large number of women currently escaping regular cytologic examinations.

It is recommended that great effort be made to persuade women in the “high risk” group to be examined annually (or once every 6 months in the case of women found to have class III or higher smears).

Repeated routine cytological examinations of vaginal and cervical secretions result in detection of cervical cancer in younger women and at an earlier stage than if the patient permits a neoplasm to progress until symptoms lead to a suspicion of cancer.
