Quantitative cytomorphological comparison of SurePath and ThinPrep liquid‐based cytology using high‐grade urothelial carcinoma cells

Abstract

Our data indicated the reasonableness of using the N:C ratio as the major criterion for TPS on both SurePath and ThinPrep slides, and an N:C ratio cut-off of 0.7 as suitable for identifying HGUC cells. However, the severity of hyperchromasia and irregular nuclear borders differed between the processing methods.
