Cytologic persistence of malignant cells after transurethral resection of bladder tumors: Implications for concomitant manipulation of the urinary tract at the time of endoscopic resection.
Liam C MacleodKhanh N PhamS Nicholas AgoffKathryn L DahlThomas R PritchettJohn M CormanPublished in: Cancer cytopathology (2016)
In patients with high-grade disease, serial bladder washing after TURBT does not appear to clear malignant cells as detected by cytology. This theoretical oncologic risk should be weighed when considering concomitant upper tract procedures such as retrograde pyelography. Future work is needed to quantify risk.
