E. GRUNDMANN, and W. VAHLENSIECK In recent years tumors of the male
genital system have acquired a new scientific importance in many
respects: First, epidemiologic studies have revealed a striking
increase of prostate carcinoma in northwestern Europe and in the
USA; it is now counted among the most frequent malig nant tumors in
males. Geographic and ethnic distributions suggest that this tumor,
too, may be triggered by exogenous factors of a still unknown
nature. Histologic classification of malignant tumors of the
prostate and testes has attained a certain finality, and the
clinical relevance of the stages is recognized. Diagnosis by
histology is now supplemented by aspiration biopsy cytology which
offers a ready and reliable diagnostic potential. Its safety even
surpasses that of punch biopsy histology and supports the
qualification of cytology as a screening method. In the Federal
Republic of Germany prostate carcinoma was recently included in the
cancer prophylaxis program of the social insurance sys tem: Every
man over 45 is entitled to one prophylactic free examination per
year. Although the number of patients profiting from this opportu
nity is still rather small, the number of patients is steadily
growing who, as a result of this prophylactic examination, received
medical treatment at an early stage of the disease and with a
relatively better prognosis1 . Topical problems of social medicine
are discussed in this context, as well as plans and developments of
the social health service and of the supporting organizations, the
federal societies for cancer campaign."
