The main purpose of urine cytology is to detect high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) of the urinary tract.
The Paris System (TPS) Working Group, composed of cytopathologists, surgical pathologists, and urologists, published a standardised reporting system that includes specific diagnostic categories and cytomorphologic criteria for the reliable diagnosis of HGUC.
Urologists depend on cytology to support the routine radiographic and endoscopic evaluation of the urinary tract to ensure that a potentially life-threatening urothelial malignancy is reliably detected, which include HGUC or carcinoma in situ.
Please see your urologist to discuss the management and the pathology findings in the urine cytology report.
