Abstract
Due to the gradual increase of endometrial cancer, mass screening for this type of cancer began from 1987 in Japan in accordance with the Law of Health for the Elderly. However, a screening system for endometrial cancer has many controversial problems when compared with that for cervix cancer. Criteria for screening, methods of screening, management after screening, and executive systems are all controversial points in the performance of mass screening. The actual condition in the detection of endometrial cancer in Fukuoka Prefecture based on a questionaire is discussed in this paper.
