    Abstract:
    Among the actions of early diagnosis of uterine cervix cancers, the sequence cytologic smear, colposcopy, cervix biopsy is well-known. The authors draw the attention that in some situations the cytologic smear and colposcopy are not sufficient and it is only biopsy that defines the nature of the lesion and may give therapeutic indications. Out of a series of 55 women to whom a cervix biopsy was performed, there were 27 cases in which biopsy was justified, showing either a severe lesion or the presence of koilocytes. The authors plead for a more frequent use of cervix biopsy as a means of early diagnosis of uterine cervix cancer or of its dysplasias.
