Dr. S. Sasikala, Dr. I. Vijay Sathish Kumar

Abstract :

Introduction: Urine cytology has an important role in the multidisciplinary diagnostic approach to bladder cancer. It is used for screening, diagnosis and follow–up of urinary tract neoplasm. Aim: To study the value of urine cytology in the diagnosis of bladder cancer and to correlate it with histopathology. Method: Voided urine cytology of 54 patients who had symptoms suggestive of bladder tumour or were under follow up for bladder cancer was done. Subsequently, biopsy of these patients was correlated with cytology. Results: 67% of bladder cancers were diagnosed by voided urine cytology. The sensitivity was 67% and the specificity was 56%. 65% of cytological diagnosis was correlated with histo–morphological diagnosis. Conclusion: Urine cytology is a simple test that can be used for screening, diagnosis and follow up of urinary bladder neoplasms. The accuracy is more with high grade tumours
