Histopathological comparism between TURT biopsy and cystectomy specimen in cystectomised patient for invasive bladder tumor

Abstract EN

Bladder cancer is one of the most prevalent types of cancer, it comprises a broad spectrum of histological heterogenous tumor types arising predominantly in the epithelium (urothelium) lining of the urinary bladder and the ureters.

Cystoscopy is essential for resction and provides valuable material for pathological observation and research purposes.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the histopathological results of endoscopic biopsy taken by (TURT) from patients with bladder tumor by comparison with the histopathological results of cystectomy specimen.

It is concluded that surgical option in treatment of invasive bladder cancer in surgically fit patients must be solidified because histopathology may under grade the tumor, or it may fail to reveal squamous differentiation and tumor heterogenicity.
