- Title
The Role of Lymph Node Dissection in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
- Authors
Gershman, Boris; Leibovich, Bradley C.
- Abstract
The authors discuss the role of lymph node dissection (LND) in the management of genito-urinary malignancies like renal cell carcinoma. They explore the oncologic benefits of LND in patients with nonmetastatic RCC with considerations on increased risk for nodal metastases using a number of propensity score techniques for nonrandom treatment allocation. It suggests that aggressive lymphadenectomy is not applicable to the majority of patients with nonmetastatic RCC.
