Abstract

CYTOLOGICAL TEST FOR CANCER CURE MEDICALJOURNAL whenever feasible. Failing this, we regard high C.I. read- ings after completion of radical treatment (allowing a three- months period to elapse in the evaluation of pre-menopausal cancer patients after radiotherapy) as suggestive of persis- tence of neoplastic disease, provided, of course, that no oestrogens had been administered. A low C.I. reading during the observation period after completion of treatment is regarded as a favourable prognostic omen only in cases in which pre-treatment C.I.s had been high.
