...Herbert Leyh; Etienne Mazeman Objective: To compare the Bard® BTA® (bladder tumour antigen) test with voided urine cytology (VUC) in the diagnosis of recurrent bladder cancer(BC). Methods: Urine specimens for the BTA test and VUC were collected on the same day as before cystoscopy from patients...

...I. Romics; L. Galamb The authors measured serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase concentration in histologically positive prostate hyperplastic and carcinomatous patients before, and 30-60 min and 24 h after prostate manipulation (rectal digital examination, cystoscopy...

... these three examinations simultaneously with cystoscopy. In over 405 cystoscopies, 348 were negative and 57 were positive for tumor. Sensitivity, the most important parameter, was 73% for the three examinations together. Each method separately had the following sensitivity: ultrasound 26%; cytology 14...

...Willem Oosterlinck; Karl-Heinz Kurth; Fritz Schröder; Richard Sylvester; Bernadette Hammond; Members of the EORTC GU Group The sensitivity of cystoscopy to distinguish infiltrating from superficial bladder tumors is very high. Only 28 (5.6%) of 501 single tumors, which were considered...

...C.J. Bunce; B.D. Sarmah; J. Considine Daycase cystoscopy under local anaesthetic is commonly used in screening patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Treatment of any lesions found, however, often requires a further cystoscopy under general or regional anaesthesia...

...A.H. Davies; D. Cranston; W.H. Turner; T. Meagher; Irene Mastorakou; G.J. Fellows Transrectal and transabdominal ultrasound combined with cytology were compared with conventional cystoscopy as a means of detecting recurrences of bladder tumours. One hundred and twenty-five patients underwent...

...J.M. Dubernarda; M. Devonec; A. Amiel; R. Bouvier; B. Fontanière; M. Faucon The correlation between cytology and cystoscopy was established using data from 450 cytologic and cystoscopic examinations performed on 401 urology outpatients. Cytology specimens were interpreted by cytopathologists...

...Piet Hoebeke; Erik Van Laecke; Ann Raes; Johan Vande Walle Objective: To evaluate the place and value of cystoscopy in paediatric bladder dysfunction. Methods: A retrospective analysis of files of 100 children who underwent cystoscopy. Results: In 6 patients with neurogenic bladder dysfunction...

... of 67 men were studied. Blood samples were obtained before and 45–60 min after two different prostatic manipulations: DRE from 45 patients and flexible cystoscopy from 22 patients. Total PSA (t-PSA) was assayed with a non equimolar method using the Cobas Core PSA kit from Roche (Cobas Core-PSA...
