[Cytologic diagnosis of recurrences of epithelial tumors of the bladder].
The cytologic method for urinalysis is available, inexpensive, and permits multiple examinations over the course of treatment. Cytologic analyses of the urine in 300 patients with bladder tumors have revealed relapses after the course of treatment in 30 cases, no clinical symptoms being detectable. A trefoil-shaped grouping of cells in cytologic preparations was found to be characteristic of transitional-cell papilloma and therefore fit to serve as a diagnostic sign. Cellular polymorphism is not so manifest in bladder carcinoma relapses, though the cells essentially differ from those of transitional-cell papilloma. Therefore, cytologic analysis of the urine is an effective method for the diagnosis of epithelial tumors of the bladder.
