What is the best way to sample a possible TCC in the urinary bladder wall? I read that doing percutaneous FNA can spread the neoplastic process through the needle track. Does some one still does it this way anyway? what if its not TCC and is another type of tumor e.g. rabdomyoma. Could you predict the difference? as I have seen TCC not only in the bladder neck, but also in other areas of the bladder wall.
Thanks for any comments

This link (to Interventional Procedures page) in Sonopath will probably help to answer some of these questions. Next week I can get the ultrasound-guided traumatic catheterization technique up there as well. But this is the procedure I prefer for potential transitional cell carcinomas and bladders. For some reason of all of the prosthetic carcinoma that I biopsied and aspirated I have never had a trailing scenario from the prostate. I have from the bladder however and I think that is well documented and justified to think that way. Try ultrasound-guided traumatic catheterization. A quick description: At the end of the urinary catheter to make it look like a bevel. sedate the animal and lube the catheter. Empty the bladder and then guide the bevel edge into the tissue in question with negative pressure on a 60 cc syringe that a technician can have control of. This will usually give you either direct tissue or something that you can sediment out with a centrifuge. For more on transitional cell carcinomas take a look at the home page length in the mid right 4 the UGELAB procedure that i cofounded with Dr. Cerf and can also be seen in JAVMA January 1, 2012. This has some pertinence to this discussion. http://www.sonopath.com
I hope this helps.

Click here for Traumatic Catheterization Procedure page. The instructions are up and we are converting the video so that should be up shortly as well for Traum cath.
