Abstract
A considerable proportion of patients with low volume lymph node metastasis in our cohort remained free of recurrence during followup. Extravesical tumor extension and lymph node density greater than 4% were associated with a higher recurrence risk and adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with a lower risk. Although some patients with low volume lymph node metastasis may be cured by surgery alone, these data support adjuvant chemotherapy in these patients.
