...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...

...R. Sonnenschein A study was undertaken in 403 patients suspected on rectal examination of carcinoma of the prostate, comparing the accuracy of cytological examination after aspiration biopsy with a Franzen's needle and transrectal punch biopsy for histological diagnosis. The results indicated 93.35...

...C.D. Vera-Donoso; B. Llopis; F. Oliver; G. Server; M. Alonso; J.F. Jimenez-Cruz To study the efficacy, specificity and sensitivity of ultrasonography, cytology and phospholipid/fatty acid quotient (PL/FA) in the detection of recurrences in patients with superficial bladder cancer we performed...

... of mucosal abnormalities were related to tumor grade and stage. Urinary cytology after complete tumor resection was positive in 18 of 19 patients with abnormal biopsies and in 6 of 12 patients with normal biopsies. Postoperative urinary cytology seems to be a good indicator for the presence of urothelial...

... punch biopsies and transrectal aspiration biopsies was carried out in order to elicit whether prostatic carcinoma can be detected with transrectal aspiration biopsy as frequently as with perineal punch biopsy, and whether a cytological diagnosis of prostatic cancer is reliable. Carcinoma of the prostate...

Dimopoulos Tumor cells and urine-voided cells from patients with invasive bladder carcinoma as well as from healthy patients were examined cytologically, ultrastruc- turally and immunocytochemically...

... on detection rate. Biopsies were taken from 344 patients, who came to hospitals for elective TUR without clinical evidence of prostatic carcinoma. Histologic examination of the TUR material showed prostatic carcinoma in 49 cases (14%). Sufficient material for cytologic examination was found in 343 cases...

...Jisk M. Heslinga; Guus A.B. Lycklama à Nijeholt; Dirk J. Ruiter A case of primary urethral oligomelanotic melanoma is presented. Melanoma of the female distal urethra is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. Imprint cytology was used for detection. Electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry were...

...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...

...K. Bandhauer; P. Spieler In a prospective study 162 patients with localized or metastasizing carcinoma of the prostate were followed by fine-needle biopsies for cytological control of the therapy. 74 patients were treated by external beam irradiation(6,000-7,000 cGy rotation technique), 88 patients...

... correlated with both the grade and stage of the tumour. The sensitivity proved to be 58% and the specificity 74%, which compares with previous studies using polyclonal RIA kits. As a monitoring test, urinary CEA proves to be as useful as urine cytology. The use of a more specific assay does not increase...

... of the study was to identify patients at high risk of recurrence despite chemotherapy-induced atypical, hence noninformative cytology. Methods: The prognostic value of cytology and ploidy during chemotherapy was compared with regard to recurrence rates and the median time to recurrence. Results: Aneuploidy...

... not to be malignant on definite pathological examination. The radiological preoperative differential diagnosis of a small renal mass is not always obvious. The efficacy of fine-needle aspiration cytology in recognizing the pathology of the tumor before surgery is limited and major complications have been reported...

...A. Steg; L. Boccon Gibod; R. Chiche; D. Dalian 86 patients presenting with upper tract urothelial tumor were investigated by conventionnal X-ray techniques and urinary cytology. Pyelography, intravenous or retrograde, was diagnostic in 85% of the cases and urinary cytology in 43%. Pyelography can...

...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...

... in situ and cytological specimens and observed a close correlation between the test results and the course of the disease, e.g. if the test was positive the recurrent tumour would be superficial and vice versa. As a rule the negative results revealed atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ as areas...

... prostatic hyperplasia. Moreover, we determined prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) by enzyme immunoanalysis, resulting in 9/78 false-positives and 18/78 false-negatives. Also, we carried out a morphometric analysis of the cytologic samples which showed good correlation with the cytologic diagnosis except...

...R. Chahal; N.K. Gogoi; S.K. Sundaram All patients with gross haematuria and those older than 50 years with microscopic haematuria need investigations to rule out the presence of a urological malignancy. Objective: To study the role of urine cytology in the evaluation of patients with haematuria...
