Summary:We analyzed the urinary cytology of 126 patients with renal pelvic and ureteral cancer who were initially treated during the last 10 years. Cytological specimens were stained by the Papanicolaou techniques. Urinary cytology was classified according to the Papanicolaou's classification. Classes IV and V were defined as positive. The cytologic findings were compared with the grade, shape, size, number and stage of tumors. The positive rates were 49.2% in renal pelvic and ureteral cancers. Higher positive rates were observed in high grade, non-papillary and large (> or = 3 cm) tumors. No correlation existed among the positive rates and number or stage of the tumor.
