X-ray microanalysis--a method for determination of elements in bladder biopsies.
Chemical elements in biopsies of normal human urothelium and transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) are determined by X-ray microanalysis in combination with scanning electron microscopy. The methodology presented is intended to be used in subsequent studies to compare data of normal urothelium and TCC of different stage and grade.
