Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A multicolour-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) approach will be performed on a liquid-based washing urinary cytology and on suspicious lesions in all participants. This will be performed once in all cases. The duration of fluorescence in situ hybridization and the histopathologic evaluation will be performed by our uro-pathologist. They will each last approximately two days. It will neither mean longer hospitalization nor more than the usual tissue specimens for all patients.
