Abstract EN
Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy represents the gold standard for treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Extent of the lymph node dissection and lymph node involvement during radical cystectomy are the most powerful prognostic factors associated with poor oncological outcome.
However, the optimal boundaries of the lymph node dissection during a radical cystectomy are controversial.
The published literature based mostly on retrospective studies suggests that increasing the number of nodes excised may have therapeutic and diagnostic benefits without significantly increasing the surgical morbidity.
These conclusions are, however, influenced by selection and surgeon biases, inconsistencies in the quality of the surgery, and node count variability.
In this paper, we establish the current understanding about the utility of lymphadenectomy during a radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
