TL;DR: Transocular fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a safe and reliable diagnostic method for suspected intraocular tumors and inflammatory conditions in which noninvasive diagnostic modalities have failed to establish the diagnosis and in which cytologic verification of the diagnosis is necessary to institute appropriate treatment.

TL;DR: To determine the optimal instruments and techniques for biopsy of upper urinary tract lesions through the small working channel in flexible and small semirigid ureteroscopes, Cytopathologic techniques are particularly useful for handling and interpreting the small specimens obtained with Ureteroscopic biopsy techniques.

TL;DR: The experience with needle aspiration material, ascitic fluid, and peritoneal washings indicates that in fluids, despite some similarity between the tumor cells and reactive mesothelial cells, a correct diagnosis can be achieved by careful examination.

TL;DR: Brush cytology is a convenient, safe, and accurate technique which should be used concurrently with endoscopic biopsy or polypectomy, and the combination of the two techniques increased the sensitivity to 90% and improved the overall accuracy of the test.
