Lack of a tumour is common in muscle invasive cases that had neoadjuvant therapy; approximately 15% of cases are ypT0.<ref name=pmid22915241>{{Cite journal | last1 = D'Souza | first1 = AM. | last2 = Pohar | first2 = KS. | last3 = Arif | first3 = T. | last4 = Geyer | first4 = S. | last5 = Zynger | first5 = DL. | title = Retrospective analysis of survival in muscle-invasive bladder cancer: impact of pT classification, node status, lymphovascular invasion, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. | journal = Virchows Arch | volume = 461 | issue = 4 | pages = 467-74 | month = Oct | year = 2012 | doi = 10.1007/s00428-012-1249-4 | PMID = 22915241 }}</ref> | |||
==Specimen opening== | |||
*Orientation: | |||
**Posterior - typically has serosa (shiny). | |||
**Seminal vesicles - should be identified on the posterior. | |||
*Inking: | |||
**Anterior midline of prostate - green stripe. | |||
**Anterior urinary bladder site of openning. | |||
***Line 1: anterior bladder base toward upper left. | |||
***Line 2: anterior bladder base toward upper right. | |||
**Right prostate - blue. | |||
**Left prostate - black. | |||
*Opening: | |||
**Cut along urethra through anterior prostate (bisect green stripe painted on anterior prostate). | |||
**Continue cut through urethra upward to left and upward to right - such that anterior bladder wall can be flipped upward. | |||
**Should be pinned open on a large block of paraffin wax. | |||
***A paper towel should be placed behind the specimen - between the specimen and paraffinx wax. | |||
*Place specimen(s) in [[formalin]]. | |||

*§ This is how it is done in [[prostatectomy|prostatectomies]]. | |||
*† The parasagittal sections of the bladder and prostate are important for staging. | |||
**Invasion into the prostatic stroma is pT4. | |||
*‡ Should be in separate blocks ''or'' inked with different colours (such that they can be separated at time of microscopy). | |||
