Objectives:

1. To introduce and improve awareness of the existence and utility of the parameter Atyp.C
2. To present evidence supporting the use of this parameter in the screening and monitoring of bladder cancer

Abstract:

The detection of atypical cells in the urine plays a significant role in the evaluation of haematuria and monitoring of patients previously treated for bladder cancer. Although cytological examination of urinary sediment is currently the standard of practice, it is not without its limitations. A low sensitivity in detecting low-grade urothelial carcinoma and poor interobserver agreement, especially in the diagnosis of atypia, are two of the major issues associated with urinary cytopathology. Using an in-built flow cytometer, UF-4000 / UF-5000 automated urine analyser can detect the presence of atypical cells on the basis of their size, internal complexity and nucleic acid contents. In this webinar, we present some evidence supporting the use of the parameter “Atyp.C” for bladder cancer screening.
