UroToday.com - In the June 2008 issue of Analytical & Quantitative Cytology & Histology, the authors assessed the reproducibility of the UroVysion fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assay to detect bladder cancer in clinical urine specimens. Thirteen specimens (2 negative, 3 low-level positive [1-10% abnormal cells], 5 mid-level positive [11-75%], and 3 high-level positive [>75%]) were analyzed by 7 cytotechnologists.
