Abstract

There is limited literature available comparing SurePath (SP) with conventional cytospins (CS) for urine cytology specimens, especially urothelial carcinoma. In this study, urinary tract cytology cases of high-grade urothelial carcinoma were assessed on SP and CS slides. Also, the morphologic differences of high-grade urothelial carcinoma between SP and CS were evaluated on a total of 35 cases of high-grade urothelial carcinoma. SP showed that the tumor cells tend to present as three-dimensional groups and have a smaller cell size than CS. In terms of nuclear features, SP and CS were found to be comparable in morphologic assessment of the tumor cells, with CS providing a slightly better visualization.
