Abstract:
The records of 56 consecutive patients with bladder tumor were evaluated for correlation of preoperative cytological findings with endoscopic findings, pathological grade and stage from January, 1983 to June, l985 at the department of Urology, Pusan National University Hospital The cyto1ogical results of urine were influenced by pathological grade, stage and shape of the tumor. There was a significant increase in the number of negative urine cytology according to the decrease of grade and stage. We suggest that class I, II, III results of urine cytology with bladder tumor are usually associated with low grade or low stage (superficia1) tumor.
