Sara Anne,
There is an additional comment section below. I’ve moved up our post op to 2 days from now, so we’ll know more then, but if you feel that you can comment on the below, that would be helpful. If not, I’m very grateful for any input. We’re bringing her back with us to the Philadelphia area after post-op to live, so any treatment will be lined up there. If you know of excellent cancer treatment facilities in that area, I’d like to look into them.
Comment: Sections show largely denuded urothelial mucosa with an
infiltrating neoplasm present in the lamina propria. The residual
overlying urothelium is unremarkable. The neoplastic cells have
eosinophilic cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei. Nuclear pleomorphism is
noted. By immunostain, the neoplastic cells are positive for
pancytokeratin, and are weakly positive for GATA-3. They are negative for
CK7, CK20. This is likely an infiltrating urothelial carcinoma. A
metastatic carcinoma is not completely ruled out.
