Urine cytology remains to be the test of choice in the detection of high-grade urothelial carcinomas (HGUC) due to its favorable sensitivity. However, a significant rate of cases is reported under atypical/indeterminate categories, which result in a decrease in its specificity. Providing standardized cytologic criteria, one of the aims of The Paris System (TPS) is to reduce the use of indeterminate diagnoses and provide a higher predictive value in these categories.
