Significados de bladder neoplasm en inglés

Purpose: Tests to detect recurrent bladder neoplasms are limited and none is consistently accurate.

The biological behaviour of urinary bladder neoplasms cannot be adequately predicted by histological criteria alone.

Conclusions: Despite the small cohort, the results confirm the prognostic value of cell proliferation and p53 expression in patients with bladder neoplasms.

Materials and methods: Random voided urine specimens from 67 patients with a history of bladder neoplasms were collected before cystoscopy and bladder washing.

Results: Voided urine cytology was positive in 54% of specimens from patients with biopsy proved bladder neoplasms compared to 29% for BTA.
