- Title:
- Extended Lymph Node Dissection for Bladder Cancer: Do Clinical Trials Rule Out a Benefit?
- Abstract:
- Although previous studies indicated a therapeutic benefit from superextended or extended lymph node dissection in bladder cancer patients undergoing radical cystectomy, the first prospective randomized trial could not confirm a significant survival benefit. With multimodal approaches including neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy as a gold standard, demonstrating any benefit may become even more difficult.
