The main purpose of urine cytology
To detect bladder cancer
![Page 4: The Paris system for Reporting Urinary Cytology: The quest ... · • 18th International Congress of Cytology, Paris, May, 2013 –“Paris Group” – all participants of two Urine](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03f8067e708231d40baa42/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Bladder cancer - current status
• ~ 80,470 new cases in 2019 in the USA (ACS) • ~ 17,670 deaths due to bladder cancer • Average age at dx - 73 • 4th most common ca in men and 9th in women (1 in 27 men, 1 in 89
women) • 9th most common cause of cancer death (F>M) • ~ 75% non-muscle invasive bladder cancers (superficial bladder
cancers), Ta, Tis, T1 • ~ 30% - 70% - recurrence • ~ 5% - 15% - progression (<1% LG Ta*) • > 535,000 people in the US are survivors of this cancer • Highest per patient cost from dx to death of all cancers • $4.1 billion/year spent to tx bladder cancer

The Process
• INCLUSION – International Working Group consisted of 49 members, 28 from
12 US states, and 21 from 9 countries – Open forum hosted by ASC and IAC seeking an international
input
• EVIDENCE – Review of existing literature – Design and publish studies that address the issue
• CONSENSUS – Numerous face-to-face meetings – Regular conference calls – Daily (almost) emails – Final approval of the manuscript by the group
![Page 21: The Paris system for Reporting Urinary Cytology: The quest ... · • 18th International Congress of Cytology, Paris, May, 2013 –“Paris Group” – all participants of two Urine](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060207/5f03f8067e708231d40baa42/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Adequacy of Urine Specimens (Adequacy)
Matthew T. Olson , Güliz A. Barkan , Monique Courtade-Saïdi , Z. Laura Tabatabai , Yuji Tokuda , Toyonori Tsuzuki , and Christopher J. VandenBussche
• Presence of atypical or malignant cells
• Specimen type – Instrumented (Cellularity,
2600 cells, 2 urothelial cells/10HPF) (*)
– Voided (>30mL more likely “adequate”) (**)
• Obscuring elements (blood, lubricant, etc.)

Renshaw AA, Gould EW: Evidence-based adequacy criteria for instrumented urine cytology using cytospin preparations. Diagn Cytopathol 2018
Cytospin preparations of instrumented urine cytology specimens with less than 10 urothelial cells or more than 50 urothelial cells/10 hpfs are both associated with significantly increased false negative rates compared to cases with 10-
49 urothelial cells/10 hpfs.

Definition of Negative for High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma
• A sample of urine, either voided or instrumented, may be considered benign, i.e., NHGUC, if any of the following components are present in the specimen:
– Benign urothelial, glandular, and squamous cells
– Benign urothelial tissue fragments (BUTF) and urothelial sheets or clusters
– Changes associated with lithiasis
– Viral cytopathic effect; polyoma virus (BK virus—decoy cells)
– Post-therapy effect, including epithelial cells from urinary diversions

important criterion to classify urine cytology specimens into the ‘positive’ or the ‘suspicious’ categories. A cut-off number of >10 cells to render a definitive diagnosis of HGUCA seems valid from the clinical standpoint .”

• Is it truly a carcinoma?
• More common than HGUC
• BUT, not life threatening

instrumented):
• Three-dimensional cellular papillary clusters (defined as clusters of cells with nuclear overlapping, forming "papillae") with fibrovascular cores with capillaries

Conclusions: • The N:C ratios for HGUC (0.57) and SHGUC (0.53) categories are lower
than those previously suggested in TPS – should the current threshold be lowered?
• At the same time – all cases contained cells with N:C ratio > 0.7

Take home message
• HGUC – this is the one that matters – Negative for HGUC
• Atypia rate has been decreasing since the introduction of TPS but it is a slow and challenging process
• LGUN – new diagnostic category or under NHGUC?, based on presence of fibrovascular cores; HGUC also have F/V cores
• N/C Ratio – the most significant challenge • Degeneration – need to be better addressed
