[NARROWED SPECTRUM DIAGNOSTICS AND COMPUTER CHROMOENDOSCOPY IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF EPITHELIAL NEOPLASMS OF THE LOWER AND UPPER URINARY TRACT].
Urologii︠a︡ 2015 September
UNLABELLED: Tumors of epithelial origin occupy the first place in the structure of oncological diseases. This study was aimed to the evaluation of the possibilities of narrowed spectrum endoscopy and computer chromoendoscopy in the diagnosis of epithelial structures of the bladder and upper urinary tract.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Additional diagnostic endoscopic examination of the lower urinary tract was performed in 76 patients (132 urethrocystoscopies). For the evaluation of the efficacy of complementary technologies in the endoscopic examination of the upper urinary tract, 47 patients were examined (57 endoscopic examinations of UUT).
RESULTS: During endoscopic examination of the bladder only in the "white light", 80 suspicious lesions were identified and removed. The additional use of NBI--diagnosis allowed to reveale and remove 9 (9.5%), abnormal structures, 6 of them (66.7%) were representatives of transitional cell carcinoma. The additional use of a computer chromoendoscopy revealed 6 (6.3%) neoplasms missed during endoscopy in white light: 4 samples (66.7%) were transitional cell carcinoma, 1 (16.7%)--squamous papilloma. Endoscopic examination of the upper urinary tract only in the "white light" identified and removed 47 suspicious lesions. Additional application of narrowed spectrum regimenhas allowed to identify and remove 8 (12.9%) pathological lesions, 3 (37.5%) of which were morphologically transitional cell carcinoma. The additional use of a computer chromoendoscopy indentified 7 (11.3%) tumors missed during endoscopy of UUT in "white light", 4 (57.1%) of which were transitional cell carcinoma. All other biopsies obtained were representatives of chronic inflammation, or material was not suitable for morphological examination.
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience of the use of narrowed spectrum diagnostics and computer chromoendoscopy allowed to improve the diagnosis of bladder cancer by 14.3%, and to improve the detection of transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract by 14.9% at the stage of development of the method.
