In patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or unresectable non-MIBC, radical cystectomy is routinely combined with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LND) owing to the oncological benefits found in recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) compared with radical cystectomy alone. However, the optimal anatomic extent of LND is still unclear.

Abstract
In patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or unresectable non-MIBC, radical cystectomy is routinely combined with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LND) owing to the oncological benefits found in recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) compared with radical cystectomy alone. However, the optimal anatomic extent of LND is still unclear.File in questo prodotto:
