Objectives:
To compare the cytocentrifugation cellular concentration method for urine cytology with the filtration-adhesion method, mainly evaluating their diagnostic efficacy and their inconveniences.
Methods:
Voiding urine samples from 100 patients were processed by cytocentrifugation and filtration-adhesion to detect neoplastic cells.
Results:
The filtration-adhesion method is superior to cytocentrifugation in the detection of neoplastic cells, without false positive results. The inconveniences are similar in both methods.
Conclusions:
The filtration-adhesion method is simple, low-cost, and more sensitive than cytocentrifugation for the detection of malignant cells.
