Immunocytology of Lewis X Antigen, Cytopathology and Ultrasound in Bladder Tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lewis X antigen in bladder cancer patients can be found in urine. In order to determine the presence of Lewis X antigen in exfoliated cells from voided urine, also cytopathologic examination and bladder ultrasound were detected in bladder cancer patients. Totally 42 patients were included in the study. Voided urine samples were obtained for immunocytology of Lewis X and cytopathology. Bladder ultrasound and cystoscopy were performed. Bladder tumors were diagnosed in 13 patients. False-negative results were seen in small, superficial and low grade tumors. Both cytopathology and bladder ultrasound increased the sensitivity. Immunocytology of urine sample for the Lewis X antigen is a sensitive method for noninvasive detection of transitional cell tumors.

Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer with Urinary Cytology, Immunocytology and DNA-Image-Cytometry1
DNA-image-cytometry and antibodies directed against the Lewis X- and the 486p 3/12 antigen were applied to improve diagnostic accuracy of urinary cytology for the detection of bladder cancer. Cytology, immunocytology and DNA-image-cytometry were performed in spontaneously voided urine samples and barbotage bladder washings from 71 patients. The DNA content was determined using the CM-1 Cytomete...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sensitivity and Specificity of Urine Survivin As A New Molecular Marker in Diagnosis of Bladder Tumors
Bladder cancer is one of the most common forms of cancers in the world. The current gold standards for itsdiagnosis are cystoscopy and urine cytology. Cystoscopy, a naked eye assessment of the bladder, is invasive, uncomfortable and costly with a great deal of personal variability in its results; while urine cytology has high specificity but low sensitivity, particularly for low-grade les...
متن کاملE-Cadherin in Relation with the Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen of the Bilharzia Associ-ated and Non-Associated Urinary Bladder Carcinoma
Background: E-cadherin is a trans-membrane glycoprotein that plays a critical role in many aspects of cell adhesion as well as establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity. Loss of the adhesive function of E-cadherin seems to promote invasive and metastatic properties of neoplastic cells. Objectives: The present study is a retrospective study aiming to evaluate the loss of E-cadher...

Background: The rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mPET), 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a customized MRI-compatible foc...
متن کاملA Carcinoid Tumor in the Urinary Bladder With Uncommon Clinicopathological Presentation
Background: Carcinoid tumors usually originate from the enterochromaffin cells located in gastrointestinal tract and bronchopulmonary system. They may rarely arise in the urinary bladder, where this can be eventually miscued as any other commoner bladder neoplasms. The current study was conducted to connote an uncommon clinicopathological presentation by a carcinoid tu...
