[Incidence of hospital treatment in carcinoma in situ in the German Democratic Republic].

1. In the period 1969 to 1974 the average frequency of in-patient treatment of carcinoma in situ has more than doubled in the GDR according to the results of an analysis of the hospital case records. There is considerable variation between the different countries and districts. 2. Treatment of carcinoma in situ was provided in 95% of all gynaecological in-patient services in the GDR. 3. The application of a uniform nomenclature of carcinoma in situ based on the agreed concept of its characteristics as a defined intermediate stage in the development of a malignant process should become common practice in order to achieve better comparability.

[Perimortal management--humanistic assignment and responsibility. Attempt at status determination].

The scientific research and practical use of all questions concerning life demands interdisciplinary cooperation. This is the result of neglection of death and dying and new social and medical developments as there are institutionalisation of dying and scientific-technical progress. The foundation of the working group "perimortal medicine" in 1983 in the Association for clinical medicine gives the possibility to discuss theoretical and practical questions concerning the end of life, death and dying. It seems to be important, that also bereavement and sympathy belongs to the topics. The results will help to develop the quality of care for the dying and the survivors.
