title: [The experience of the Armenian Republic Endoscopic Center in the active detection of tumors of the urinary system].
abstract: The results of screening for urinary tract tumors provided by the Republican Endoscopic Center are discussed. Groups at high risk for cancer were formed on the evidence of microhematuria. Cases of hematuria were referred to the endoscopic center for complex endoscopic, sonographic and morphological examination. Out of 575 patients at high risk, renal pathology was detected in 39.7% (tumors in 3.1% included) and urethral and bladder pathology--in 19.1% (benign and malignant tumors of the bladder in 4.4% included).
