title: [Flow cytometry in micturitional urine: its clinical application in cases of bladder cancer].
abstract: The paper discusses a particular use of flow cytometric analysis, namely the quantitative study of DNA in the cellular sediment obtained from micturitional urine in patients with vesical tumours. Forty cases of carcinoma of varying degrees and stages were studied and, despite the small number of cases, interesting results have emerged regarding the close correlation between the test and the different clinical, cytological and histopathological aspects of the disease, and relating to the relative simplicity of the method used.
