Abstract :
We have studied, in a blinded fashion, cytology and microsatellite analysis on urine sediments of 143 Chinese with or without bladder lesions. Microsatellite analysis succeeded in all 143 individuals, while cytology could not be performed on 42 subjects due to insufficient urine samples. Both microsatellite analysis and routine urine cytology succeeded in 81 bladder cancer patients. Seventy-three patients (90%) were identified by microsatellite analysis, while only 41 patients (51%) were identified by cytology. However, four patients were identified by routine cytology but not by microsatellite analysis. Our results proved that microsatellite analysis is more sensitive than routine cytology but the two methods are complementary to each other.
