Abstract
CK-20 immunocytology is more sensitive than standard cytology in the detection of TCC, particularly of Stage pT1, grade 2, and grade 3 tumors. In view of its high overall specificity and predictive accuracy, it is conceivable that the proposed immunoassay may progressively replace conventional cytologic screening in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.
