Comparison of Conventional Sediment Smears and Liquid‐Based Cytology and Utility of Cell Block Preparation in Urinary Cytology

CSSs give as good and comparable cytological results as LBC. Though LBC provides a more determinate diagnosis (Negative for High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma or High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma) when compared to CSS, this difference is not statistically significant. A combination of LBC with CSS provides superior results than CSS or LBC alone. This study highlights the promising results CSSs provide, which is relevant in resource-poor settings where LBC facilities are not readily available. CBs are useful in reducing indeterminate diagnoses on cytology; however, the results are not statistically significant.
