Is there still a role for ureteric frozen section analysis during radical cystectomy?
Our study showed that iFSA of distal ureteric margins during RC for BCa provided excellent diagnostic performance and enabled cancer-free anastomosis. Our findings support iFSA, especially in patients with bladder CIS, trigonal tumours, or hydronephrosis, to guide intra-operative decisions and tailor postoperative surveillance.
