Is non-squamous epithelial cell high in urine cancer

A high incidence of non-squamous epithelium in urine is not cancer. Cancer can be diagnosed only if cancer cells are found in urine. Normal urinary tract epithelium is present and found under microscope. The amount of epithelium is very small and has no definite significance. However, if in a disease state, increased epithelial shedding can occur. For example, infection can lead to increased epithelial shedding, and stones can also lead to increased local mucosal epithelial shedding. Tumor can also lead to an increase in epithelial shedding, squamous epithelium is mainly distributed in the urethra, especially in the anterior urethra, and ureter, bladder, renal pelvis transitional urothelia. Therefore, when a large number of non-squamous epithelial cells are detected, it is necessary to further examine whether there is a urinary tract infection, whether there is a urinary tract stone or injury. Of course, if there is a tumor of the urethra, it can also show increased epithelial cells. But it is not through urine test, but through urine exfoliated cells to find cancer cells can be diagnosed.
