Abstract
This study shows an association between increased lymph node yield and improved disease specific survival of patients with lymph node positive nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma who underwent lymphadenectomy. Patients at high risk for nodal disease should be considered for regional or extended lymphadenectomy. Clinical variables to predict risk and validation of dissection templates are important areas for future research.
