Meanwhile gynecologists and clinic staffers in Ann Arbor and around the country are telling} all women to ask their mothers: if they had taken DES at any time during the course of their pregnancy. In the event some- one is in fact a DES person with adenosis, she can plan toj have herself carefully checked every six months. Most norm- al women should, according to most gynecologists, have a reg- ular pap smear (cervical cell analysis for early cancer detec- tion) and pelvic exam once a year. University communities like Ann Arbor introduce complicat- ing circumstances into the fol- low-up of adenosis cases. Stu- dents, being largely transient, don't tend to be under the care of any one particular gynecolo- gist and it is difficult for a doc- tor, unfamiliar with the pa- tient's history, to determine by a single pap smear whether or not abnormal cells have un- dergone any significant change over a period of time.. Yet the follow-up must be taken seriously for it serves as the only weapon against the my- stery born of DES. Worse than the most belligerent of animals, it threatens to attack at any time . . . or maybe not at all.
