The Value Of Methylene Blue Staining In Bladder Tumors

Abstract

Methylene blue staining was performed and random biopsies were taken in 35 patients with bladder tumors and 4 patients with chronic cystitis. Good staining was observed in patients with grade II and III tumors. Thus, a correlation was observed between staining density and tumor grade. Since some authers couldn’t demonstrate staining of the superficial bladder tumors like carcinoma ın situ, with methylene blue well enough, they rejekted this method in the diagnosis of endophitic tumors. We couldn’t test this method in the superficial bladder tumors because there were no cases in our work.
