Thin-Prep Urinary Cytology: New Method and Preliminary Results

Abstract

Cytology of voided urine is a reliable and important tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with epithelial tumors of the urinary bladder. In order to improve its sensitivity Thin-Prep monolayer technique has been used. This method seems to be suitable for the diagnosis of low grade papillary tumors too.
