Abstract
Background Urinary cytology, a non-invasive screening tool, is essential for detecting high-grade urothelial neoplasms. The Paris System (TPS) standardizes reporting practices to improve diagnostic accuracy. TPS 2.0, introduced in 2022, categorizes samples into six diagnostic groups, emphasizing high-grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC). Materials and Methods This retrospective study analyzed urine cytology samples from June 2023 to May 2024, correlating with histopathology when available. Samples were classified under TPS 2.0 categories, and statistical metrics including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for three groups based on malignancy criteria. Results Out of 180 samples, the distribution was: ND (3.9%), NHGUC (65.6%), AUC (10%), SHGUC (11.7%), and HGUC (8.9%). Histopathological correlation was available for 30.6% of cases. ROM values were: ND (33.3%), NHGUC (29.4%), AUC (66.7%), SHGUC (94.1%), and HGUC (100%). Group A showed the highest sensitivity (86.49%) and diagnostic accuracy (84.62%), while Group C had 100% specificity and PPV. Conclusion The study confirms TPS 2.0's efficacy in improving diagnostic accuracy for HGUC, with high specificity and sensitivity. Compared to TPS 1.0, TPS 2.0 offers clearer diagnostic criteria, enhancing clinical decision-making and patient outcomes. The findings support the continued use of TPS 2.0 in clinical practice, ensuring reliable identification of high-grade urothelial carcinomas.
期刊介绍:
With articles offering an excellent balance between clinical cytology and cytopathology, ''Acta Cytologica'' fosters the understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms behind cytomorphology and thus facilitates the translation of frontline research into clinical practice. As the official journal of the International Academy of Cytology and affiliated to over 50 national cytology societies around the world, ''Acta Cytologica'' evaluates new and existing diagnostic applications of scientific advances as well as their clinical correlations. Original papers, review articles, meta-analyses, novel insights from clinical practice, and letters to the editor cover topics from diagnostic cytopathology, gynecologic and non-gynecologic cytopathology to fine needle aspiration, molecular techniques and their diagnostic applications. As the perfect reference for practical use, ''Acta Cytologica'' addresses a multidisciplinary audience practicing clinical cytopathology, cell biology, oncology, interventional radiology, otorhinolaryngology, gastroenterology, urology, pulmonology and preventive medicine.
