POSSIBILITIES OF USING URINE CYTOLOGY IN THE DETECTION OF UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA OF THE UPPER URINARY TRACT: EXPERIENCE OF ONE CENTER
Abstract
Urine cytology (MC) is a non-invasive examination used for the microscopic detection of tumor cells in a sample urine. A relatively small number of publications deals with the possibilities of using urine cytology in the detection of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC), i.e. urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the renal pelvis and ureter.
