[Histological diagnosis and individual treatment of cancer in gynecology (author's transl)].

Individualization of cancer therapy in gynecology is based on a perfectly precise histological diagnosis. This implies close cooperation between the clinician and the histopathologist. Making a reliable and therapeutically decisive histopathological diagnosis is possible by means of certain diagnostic interventions which provide a maximum of clinical and histological information on the uterus and the breast, and by means of a systematic fine structure processing of the surgical specimens in carcinomas of the uterus, vulva and breast. Only in this way can the clinician take the extraordinary responsibility of an individual treatment of cancer.
