Fifty-eight malignancies and 80 pre-malignancies were found on routine examination of 7,053 private gynecologic patients during a 10-year period. The examinations, performed annually before 40 and semiannually after 40, consisted essentially of palpation of the thyroid, breasts, abdomen, pelvis, and rectum. Hemoglobin, weight, blood pressure, and urinalysis were obtained. Twelve thousand one hundred and twenty eight cervical cytologic smears were performed.

These results prove conclusively the value of routine cancer detection examination in asymptomatic women.
