Abstract
From Jan. 1970 to Aug. 1981, 2298 urinary cytological examinations on 1228 patients were done in the urological clinic and polyclinic of the university of Munich [West Germany]. The value of this method in urologic practice was examined. The increasing use of urinary cytology confirms the confidence that is placed on this technique. Primary tumors of the urinary tract can be recognized cytologically with high reliability. The diagnosis is more difficult during the first 6 mo. postoperatively or during chemotherapy.
