The development of a urological cytodiagnosis service and an evaluation of its success.
Results are given of a year's survey of a urological cytodiagnosis service (229 specimens) in its early stages. A significant degree of success has been obtained in detecting carcinomas of the bladder but bladder papillomata and prostatic and renal carcinomas are not so easily revealed. Other limitations are described.
