What is UTC cytology?

Urinary tract cytology (UTC) specimens are obtained in a wide variety of clinical settings.

What percentage of patients with AUC-H are not investigated further?

Approximately one-half of the specimens diagnosed as AUC-H were not investigated further when ordered by nonurologists. Patients with specimens diagnosed as AUC-H received fewer subsequent biopsies (14% vs 53%; P < .001) when the specimens were ordered by nonurologists versus urologists, despite having similar rates of high-grade urothelial carcinoma on follow-up biopsy (67% vs 66%). When specimens ordered by nonurologists were diagnosed as SHGUC, these patients received more follow-up (100%) compared with those whose specimens were diagnosed as AUC-H (44%; P < .001). Patients with specimens ordered by nonurologists also received more follow-up biopsies when these were diagnosed as suspicious (60%) compared with patients whose specimens were diagnosed as AUC-H (14%; P < .001).

What is a UTC?

Urinary tract cytology (UTC) specimens diagnosed using high-risk indeterminate categories such as “atypical urothelial cells, cannot exclude high-grade urothelial carcinoma” (AUC-H) or “suspicious for high-grade urothelial carcinoma” (SHGUC) have a high rate of detection of high-grade urothelial carcinoma on subsequent biopsy. Although urologists are familiar with such terminology, it is unclear whether patients receive appropriate follow-up when UTC is ordered by nonurologists. In the current study, the authors investigated whether the use of AUC-H versus SHGUC altered patient management among nonurologists.
