Digitized microscopy in the diagnosis of bladder cancer: analysis of >3000 cases during a 7-month period.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The objective of this study was to assess how atypical diagnostic category (ADC) is followed up, its outcomes, and the predictors that are associated with subsequent diagnosis of neoplasm/malignancy. METHODS:We reviewed pancreatic endoscopic ultrasound fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) with ADC and compared ...
