TI  - The FISH test for the diagnosis, surveillance, and prognosis of transitional cell 
      carcinoma of the bladder.
PG  - 230-2
AB  - BACKGROUND: A brief history of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) test 
      and its use in the management of bladder tumors is outlined. METHODS & RESULTS: 
      After a brief review of the subject, between 1990 and the present, including 
      sensitivity and specificity studies, a referenced list of the various uses of the 
      FISH test is provided. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the FISH test has almost 
      completely replaced cystoscopy, urine cytology and all other tests and markers 
      for the diagnosis, surveillance, management, and prognosis of bladder tumors. It 
      has completely changed and revolutionized our previous routine of managing 
      bladder tumors.
