Template‐based lymphadenectomy in urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract: Impact on patient survival

Abstract

In patients with muscle-invasive clinical node-negative UCUUT, the number of LN removed shows minimal influence on their survival. In contrast, the influence of the particular type of lymphadenectomy is statistically significant. These findings suggest that the extent of lymphadenectomy should be determined by the template and not by the number of removed LN.
