- Summary
- "The 1973 WHO classification of bladder tumours anticipated a probable need for eventual revision of the criteria for diagnosing papillary and flat bladder neoplasia. A workshop sponsored by WHO consisting of pathologists, urologists, cytologists, oncologists and basic scientists interested in bladder tumours addressed this subject and, after a follow-up meeting sponsored by the International Society of Urological Pathology, the classification and terminology used in this text were agreed upon.
- A major change is in the introduction of a new category: papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential. Many of the tumours previously designated as papillary transitional cell carcinoma, grade I now fall into that category. Another major change is in the designation of flat lesions, and this includes a definition of carcinoma in situ.
- Furthermore, a number of variant forms of urothelial carcinomas are included as well as new entities not recognized when the first edition was issued."--BOOK JACKET.
