Thank you for your replies, Rusty and Kiowa. I read on another discussion group that urine cytology can be used to detect cancer in the upper tract – I took that to mean the ureters and/or kidneys. And I guess I was wondering if it would detect cancer that might not show up on ultrasound or CT scan. And I was also wondering if other “cystectomites” (haha, that’s not a word, I’m sure) were having urine cytology done regularly along with the other tests. Doesn’t sound like that’s the case.
