Fluorescence in situ hybridization in 1  mL of selective urine for the detection of upper tract urothelial carcinoma: a feasibility study

In conclusion, UTUC detection is feasible with FISH in 1 mL of passively collected selective urine. Thus from a technical point of view, FISH could be used as an outpatient tria ge test to decide if follow-up ureteroscopy is necessary after kidney-sparing surgery of UTUC. Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of FISH for the suggested pathway deserves further attention.
