The outcome of screening for cervical cancer in the county of Funen was evaluated in two sequential periods (1.7.-31.12.1989 and 1.7.-31.12.1992), comprising 17,493 and 18,135 respectively. About 10.5% of the screened women had a define non-negative smear. From the first and the second period 80% and 85.1% of the non-negative smears respectively were followed up within six months. The follow-up of positive smears was 96% in both periods. Four point nine percent and 3.3% respectively of the non-negative smears were not followed up within 18 months. No women were actually lost in the screening system, unless they renounced further follow-up themselves. The follow-up was improved from the first to the second period, presumably as a result of a better general acquaintance with the screening procedures. The study indicates that reorganization of a screening programme requires both time and adjustment. Moreover, it is important that a successful screening programme frequently adjusts its procedures.

Pairs of smears from 25 consecutive women undergoing routine screening and 30 consecutive colposcopy patients suspected of having cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were randomized and fixed with either Merckofix or a hairspray to compare their use as coating fixatives. Vacuolated cells from the cervical transformation zone were present in 9 of 25 and 24 of 30 smears fixed with hairspray against 2 of 25 and 2 of 30 of smears fixed with Merckofix in the two series, respectively. These findings indicate that the fixative effect of commercial hairsprays always should be tested before such hairsprays are introduced into routine procedures.

A method for scanning electron microscopic examination of exfoliated ectocervical cells smeared with a cotton swab is described. It is concluded that this technique has advantages over techniques in which cell samples are collected from the portio by washing, scraping, or adherence to membranes.
