My cytology says: Suspicious for high grade urothelial carcinoma

What does my cytology results mean by : Suspicious for high grade urothelial carcinoma??

I had a TCC in right kidney pelvis. The kidney was removed in Nov 2022. I am on Plavix so my urol doctor does not want to do a bladder scope yet. I am sheduled for a CT next month.

All info is helpful.

Thanks

“High grade” means likely metastatic (spread to) to other places….

The cytology was repeated at another lab. The dx says:

NEGATIVE FOR HIGH-GRADE UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA.

BENIGN UROTHELIAL AND SQUAMOUS CELLS PRESENT.
