... and follow-up of bladder cancer has remained a challenge to the urologic community. Cystoscopy, commonly accepted as a gold standard for the detection of bladder cancer, is invasive and relatively expensive, while urine cytology is of limited value specifically in low-grade disease. Over the last decades...

...Huixiang Yang; Huijie Li; Zhenchao Wang; Jing Gao; Yong Guo Objectives: To evaluate whether soluble Fas (sFas) in urine is an independent predictor of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: We performed a prospective chart review which included 128 subjects with NMIBC and 88 controls...

...Opeyemi Adegboyega Falebita; Garry Lee; Paul Sweeney Objective: We aim to determine if urine cytology was still necessary as a routine part of the evaluation for the presence of urological malignancy and to evaluate its cost effectiveness. Methods: Urine cytology reports over a 6-year period (2000...

...Peter J. Moberg; Jorge Lizana; Peter Eneroth Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) – a specific marker of prostatic secretion – has been analyzed by radioimmunoassay in samples of urine voided before and after massage of the prostate. In all patients there was an increase in urine PAP concentration...

... patients did not demonstrate urine leakage after catheter removal. In group II, 24 cases showed a rise in rectal leakage pressure to 76.2 ± 22 cm H 2 O, but urinary leakage was only observed after catheter removal. In group IIa (19 cases), the VLPP decreased by 12.6 ± 15 cm H 2 O, while in group IIb (5...
