Résumé
Upper-tract-urothelial-carcinoma (UTUC) represents 5-10% of all urothelial-neoplasms with increasing incidence in the last decades. Current standard tools for diagnosis of UTUC include cytology, computed tomography (CT) urography and ureterorenoscopy (URS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Bladder Epicheck Overall, 136 urine samples, selective collected from upper-urinary-tract before URS for suspicion of UTUC were analyzed with cytology and Bladder Epicheck UTUC was detected in 40 cases (33.3%), among them 30 were classified as low-grade (LG) and 10 as high-grade (HG). Overall sensitivity of Bladder Epicheck Due to its high sensitivity for HG tumors, the Bladder Epicheck
