Extended Radical Lymphadenectomy in Patients With Urothelial Bladder Cancer:: Results of a Prospective Multicenter Study

Abstract

We strongly recommend extended radical lymphadenectomy to all patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer to remove all metastatic tumor deposits completely. The operation can be conducted in routine clinical practice and our data may serve as a guideline for future standardization and quality control of the procedure.
