Review of 1175 Women Office Patients Examined for Cancer and Other Diseases

Maurice Fremont-Smith M.D.1

1 The Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts.

Thirty-nine cases of cancer, ten cases of diabetes, seven cases of thyrotoxicosis, and two of active pulmonary tuberculosis were found in an examination of 1175 consecutive female office patients. Of 851 Hinton blood tests, three were positive. A single vaginal smear from 1006 women primarily detected ten of twelve carcinomas of the uterus and was positive (but not primarily diagnostic) in the eleventh case.
