Abstract
Acceptance of the value of urinary cytology in transitional cell carcinoma was mixed. Overall accuracy is only fair to good, and the results in mass screening are poor. Cytology can be valuable in the serial evaluation of selected patients by the collection of multiple specimens. It is an important adjunct in upper tract lesions, carcinoma in situ and the evaluation of the patient with unexplained hematuria. Patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium were analyzed with special reference to the use of cytology irrigation specimens from the bladder and renal pelvis as an intial diagnostic tool and as an adjunctive technique for the evaluation of recurrence.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
