Abstract
An increased number of lymph nodes removed at the time of cystectomy was associated with improved survival in patients with lymph node-positive bladder cancer. Improved survival was observed at a lower lymph node density threshold than previously reported. The current findings support performing a more extensive lymphadenectomy at the time of cystectomy.
